Funding

Students benefiting from Erasmus+ KA171 mobility are granted a scholarship to help with additional expenses incurred while being abroad during their activity period. The scholarships do not cover all activity-related expenses but are only a contribution. The amount of the scholarship to be given is determined by the European Union Commission for the destination country within the dates specified in the approved teaching/training program before departure. The monthly scholarship amount to be given to students benefiting from the activity is €700.

The table below shows the individual support grant amounts to be used for students who will benefit from short-term physical mobility (such as short-term doctoral mobility or blended mobility):

  • 5 to 14 days: 79 Euro per day
  • 15 to 30 days: 56 Euro per day

Grant payments are made in two installments. The first payment corresponds to 70% of the total grant (individual support + travel grant). The remaining 30% is paid after the mobility, provided that the student fulfills the necessary obligations. Students may participate in the activity without receiving a grant if they wish. Non-grant students are still subject to the general evaluation along with other applicants and follow the same process as students receiving grants.

Students who will study under Erasmus+ Mobility with Partner Countries will receive, in addition to the monthly grant, an amount to cover travel costs corresponding to the travel distance. The travel amount is calculated using the “Distance Calculator” (https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/resources/distance-calculator_en).

Selection and Placement

  • The selection of candidate students is made based on the ranking of students with the highest scores within the quota for each faculty/department.
  • Students who are selected and allocated a grant in a contract year but cannot be sent due to insufficient funding or other reasons cannot be directly sent in the next contract year as a “vested right.”
