The decisive point is the two-step procedure: IHS admission on one side, the JJ/WBGSP window on the other, with only one master track allowed at submission. This scholarship is for bachelor-level candidates applying to this English-taught master, subject to the program’s nationality scope. No funding coverage is currently stated, and the application goes through the IHS form and then the JJ/WBGSP window.

Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The real trap is « final »: only one master track can be submitted, and any change requires a new application. The track must therefore be locked before opening the file, and the IHS admission and JJ/WBGSP window must be treated as two separate steps. If you depend on this scholarship, secure your English proof and academic documents first, then keep the 29 March 2027 to 21 May 2027 window in view. The right move is to submit a file that is already stabilized, without improvising the program choice at the last minute.
