Yes, in some cases—but the redirect alone is not proof of the funder. A destination can sometimes be checked against a source-specific application instruction. Those checks can identify the application route, while the funder still requires separate confirmation.
What the cited pages establish
The Erasmus+ page gives a direct application rule: “Students apply directly to the institution running their chosen programme.” In the joint-master context, this gives a concrete verification point: check whether the destination directs the applicant to the institution running the selected programme. It identifies where to apply; it does not, from the cited statement alone, identify who provides the funding.
The Chevening apply page starts with a different instruction: “Begin by selecting your country of citizenship.” That opening step is a specific clue for checking a page presented as the Chevening apply page. If the wording is absent, the match remains unverified; the absence alone does not prove that the destination is unrelated.
Neither fact supplies a universal redirect policy or a direct way to identify a funder. They support a conditional tracing method, not a definitive identity match.
How to check the route
- Keep the initiating link and record the destination before relying on either page.
- Compare the exact wording with the relevant source: direct application to the institution running the chosen programme for Erasmus+, or country-of-citizenship selection at the start of the Chevening apply page.
- Keep two questions separate: where does the application go, and who provides the funding? Do not infer the second from the first.
- Confirm the funder and current terms separately. Neither cited instruction specifies a fee, deadline, eligibility condition, or general redirect policy, so those details remain unconfirmed.
What the reader must still confirm
The cited information does not document what a particular redirect changes or preserves, or whether the destination is the funder’s own application page. It also does not confirm an application outcome or the current status of an application window.
Until the funder, relevant institution, and current rules are verified separately, the redirected page should be treated as a lead rather than definitive evidence.
