INCLUSION SUPPORT
The Erasmus+ Program encourages the participation of people with special needs in the program. A person with special needs is a potential participant whose personal physical condition, mental state or health condition does not allow him/her to participate in the project/mobility activity, unless extra financial support is available. In order for an additional grant to be given to students and staff who need special needs support, it is necessary to request an additional grant from the Turkish National Agency by the beneficiary higher education institution. If the participant who has special needs support is selected, if the participant has an additional grant request, the approximate additional costs are determined and an additional grant is requested from the National Agency.
We wish you success.
