At glance : Erasmus Mundus - ESIM

In this chance, I would like to share the information about the scholarship which many mathematics students can consider to apply. It's called ESIM, European School for Industrial Mathematics. This is join 2-year Master programs of three highly qualified universities in Europe. Actually this scholarship is not required many aspects which makes me recommend all student of Mathematics who are interested in Applied Mathematics to apply to. The requirements are

• Your background in BSc should be applied mathematics with GPA at least 75% or 3.00 from 4.00
  
• Your TOEFL should be at least 550 (PBT) or 213 (CBT) or 80 (iBT) or equivalent with 6.0 for IELST

Once you get this scholarship, I can say that you are rich because the granted money for the living expenses given from the scholarship are far more than enough compare to the actual living expenses you will spend. It means that you would have savings after you graduate :D
The calculation :

1. scholarship (+) 42.000 euros for 2 years.
2. tuition fee = 5655 euros x 2 years = 11.310 euros
   
3. living expenses= (-) 600 euros x 24 months = 14400 euros
   
4. other cost (resident permit, visa, insurance) =5000 euros
5. flight tickets = 1200 euros ( example : Indonesia - Europe)

At least you can get 10.000 euros after 2 years. Bring back to your country :D
(For Indonesian, it's the same as you earn money around 6 million rupiahs per month while studying in Europe!!!)

When you apply this scholarship, you have to choose 2 of 3 the universities where you want to study in. Those are TU/e (Netherlands), Kaiserslautern (Germany) and Linz (Austria). Every year this scholarship will be closed on 1st of February.

Be prepared Mathematics students !!! Now is August 2008.
You still have time 6 months to apply for 1st Feb 2009 !!!!!
Follow the link below for the details.

Lucky or Unlucky ?? (Part II)

Continue from the previous part..

As I mentioned before that the third experience was related to eveything happened in Netherlands. Someone has guessed what it was. I think he is definitely right :D
There is a boy and there is a girl. Girls can make boys life more colorful. The first time I left Indonesia, I felt unlucky because I had to leave someone that I really loved so much. I approached her intensively almost 11 months. I felt unlucky cause I couldn't be together with her. I could be at least 5 years the time that I would spend in Netherlands. As predicted most of my friends, our relationship is over. She couldn't make it anymore. She needs someone who can always be close with her. I cannot do it :( Finally, we broke up.. But...

Someone special comes to me. Someone who is really care about me. Someone who really really loves me ( she said so :D ) Eventhough we come from "different world", we will try our best to be together because Love conquers everything ( I hope so :D )..
I am LUCKY, so far :D

Who's next ??

Last year, 2007, there are 9 Indonesian students who got scholarship for studying in TU/e, Netherlands. They are I Wayan Gede Santika (Stuned), Lesky Deni Saputra and Adi Purnomo (Depkom info), Grant Patrizio, Samuel Louvan, and Ari Kusyanti (ASML), Renaldi and Arya Adriansyah (TU/e scholarship), another Ari (Huygens) :D

This year 2008, so far, there will be 3 Indonesian students who also got scholarship. They are Islah (Erasmus Mundus), and Reyhan (ASML). The last one is a girl. Up to now, we haven't got any information about this student. We hope that she also got scholarship whatever it was :D.

Who's next ? 2009 ? 2010 ? You have many scholarships to apply as mentioned above for your study in TU Eindhoven. Those all are TU/e Talent scholarship, ASML scholarship, Philips scholarship, Oce scholarship, Huygens scholarship, Stuned scholarship, Depkom info scholarship, Shell scholarship, Erasmus Mundus scholarship, NFP scholarship, and Ford scholarship. Have you ever found other universities with many scholarships like TU/e ?
You can contact one of the students to get more information.
Good luck for your all !!!! :D
