It is applied when a student who has carried out mobility under a KA171 Project applies again within the same study cycle.

Erasmus+ Grant-Funded Mobility Option

Under the Erasmus+ Programme, selected students may receive an Erasmus+ grant to cover their living expenses during the mobility period. The Erasmus+ grant is a contribution and may not cover 100% of the expenses incurred before and during the mobility (such as visa, accommodation, flight tickets and living expenses). In such cases, the student must cover the remaining amount themselves.

Students selected with a grant will receive grant support for 5 months.

Erasmus+ Mobility Without Grant Option

Students may exercise this right by selecting the "I can take part without a grant" option on the online form at the time of application. Whether selected with or without a grant, Erasmus+ students do not pay tuition, registration, examination or library fees to the host university. The application requirements and selection criteria for mobility without a grant are no different from those for grant-funded mobility.

Additional Grant Opportunity for Individuals with Special Needs

Students with disabilities may receive an additional grant for their mobility according to their specific needs. For detailed information, please contact the Erasmus Institutional Coordination Office.
