Funding rates Student mobility for studies and internships abroad

The financial support for ERASMUS+ student stays is based on the different costs of living in the target countries (‘programme countries’).

From project year 2024, the following minimum amounts will apply throughout Europe in the respective country groups:

Student mobility for studies and internships abroad

Country group Destination country Funding amount for students per month

Country group 1
Countries with a higher cost of living

 

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden

  Non-associated partner countries from regions 1-12 (2024) / 1-3 and 5-12 (2025) EUR 700

 

Top-up amounts (top-ups)    

for internships:  EUR 150 / month
for participants with fewer opportunities: EUR 250 / month

All figures subject to change and according to the allocation of funds by the European Commission.

More detailed information on top-ups, support for participants with fewer opportunities and funding for additional travel days can be found in the declaration of honour for top-ups.

Please note:
There is no legal entitlement to funding or to a specific amount of funding.

Programme participants can find further information in the criteria catalogue for additional financial support.

Zero Grant funding
If sufficient financial resources are not available, students will receive the mobility grant for a shorter period.
The remaining stay will be recorded as a so-called zero grant period. Mobility can also be carried out as a complete zero grant period, i.e. students benefit from the advantages of the Erasmus+ programme, but no financial support is provided by the programme.

Note on funding for ERASMUS+ internships from the 2024 project year onwards: Only physical periods will be financially supported, and only for a maximum of 6 months (180 days) per mobility period. Any period exceeding this will be calculated as a zero grant. The additional top-ups will also only be paid for 6 months.

Funding rates for teaching and staff mobility

The financial support for ERASMUS+ mobilities for teaching purposes or for further education and training is based on the different costs of living in the target countries (‘programme countries’). Standardised daily rates apply for funding from German universities.

From project year 2024, the following fixed daily rates apply for Germany for the country groups listed below up to the 14th day of the stay; from the 15th to the 60th day of the stay, the funding amounts to 70% of the daily rates mentioned.
