GRANTS
Countries where student mobility activities can be carried out are divided into 3 groups based on the standard of living, and monthly education and internship grants are determined for each country group. The country groups and the monthly grant amounts for students going to these countries are listed in the table below:
| COUNTRY GROUPS | COUNTRIES | INTERNSHIP GRANT (EURO) |
|---|---|---|
| 1st and 2nd Group Program Countries | Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Southern Cyprus, Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Greece | 750 |
| 3rd Group Program Countries | Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Croatia, North Macedonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey | 600 |
No additional support is provided for round-trip travels for students under the Erasmus+ Traineeship Mobility among program countries. Payments are made in two installments: 80% of the total grant before departure, and 20% upon return. For Traineeship Mobility, a maximum of 2 months' grant is provided.
INCLUSION SUPPORT
The Erasmus+ Program encourages the participation of individuals with special needs in the program. A person with special needs is a potential participant whose personal physical, mental, or health condition, without extra financial support, would prevent them from participating in the project/mobility activity. Students and staff who need special needs support must have their host higher education institution request additional grants from the National Agency. After the selection of a participant with special needs support, if there is a request for additional grant, the approximate extra costs are determined, and an additional grant request is made to the National Agency.
We wish you success.
