SUPPORT FOR INCLUSION

A potential participant is someone whose personal physical condition, mental condition, or health condition prevents them from participating in the project/mobility activity without additional financial support. For participants with special needs to receive additional grants, the beneficiary higher education institution must submit a request for additional grants to the Center. After the participant with special needs is selected, if there is a request for additional grants, the approximate additional expenses are determined, and a request for additional grants is made to the Center.
Best of luck!
