Erasmus+ additional grant for the students with special needs

Students who have special needs related to physical, mental, or health conditions have the opportunity to apply for a grant in addition to the regular Erasmus+ study mobility grant. To be eligible for the Erasmus+ special needs support grant, you must indicate your needs and the expected extra costs associated with your special needs. The support provided for your Erasmus+ mobility can include various areas such as adapted accommodation, travel assistance, medical care, medical support equipment, modified learning materials, and the option of having an accompanying person, among others. It is important to note that if you require additional support that incurs actual costs, you must provide the necessary cost documents, such as agreements, invoices, payment orders, or cash checks, which should be addressed to and paid by you as the participant. These expenses must be incurred during the mobility period. If any of these conditions apply to you, please get in touch with the Erasmus Student Exchange Coordinator. Kindly explain your condition and the potential costs associated with it.

The scholarship provided is intended to assist with covering expenses while studying abroad, however, it may not cover all costs, so it is advisable to be prepared to contribute a portion of the expenses yourself. For the Erasmus+ program, participants will not receive the scholarship if they are engaged in distance learning without physically relocating to the host country. For blended mobility, which involves a combination of virtual and physical mobility, the participant must spend a minimum of 2 consecutive months in the host country to be eligible for the scholarship (only the physical mobility period will be funded). If engaging in virtual mobility on-site, it is crucial to ensure that the host university supports the student's decision to move to campus and is willing to confirm their presence for exchange reports.
