Bancaja program

What are the Bancaja grants?

The philosophy of the Bancaja Foundation Program to develop studies abroad is similar to the European Erasmus Program. The Bancaja grants offer financial help to enable students stay abroad for over 3 - 8 months (it could also be prolonged to a maximum of 12 months) in countries such as USA, Australia, New Zeeland, Japan that is to say, just in those countries the University of Zaragoza has agreements with and this all would be even better if there existed specific covenants with some veterinary faculties or CTA.
