How much the Erasmus+ Mobility Grant amounts to depends on the duration of your stay abroad and the country that you travel to. The monthly funding rates may vary from year to year.
The grant will be paid out in two instalments: You will receive the first instalment (80% of the total amount) approximately 3–4 weeks before the start of the semester/internship abroad.
You will receive the second rate (20% of the total amount) after your stay abroad, as soon as you have submitted the completion documents for the semester abroad or the completion documents for the internship abroad.

Erasmus+ strives to foster equal opportunities and inclusion. In order to give even more people the opportunity to stay abroad, the groups listed below may receive additional financial support.
Please note: The additional support cannot be combined, i.e. if you have a non-academic background and are working alongside your studies, you will not receive the additional support twice.
Information on Auslands-BAföG: For students with disabilities, chronic illness and students with children, the additional funding does not count towards Auslands-BAföG.
For students from a non-academic background and working students, the additional funding counts towards Auslands-BAföG. However, in contrast to BAföG, the Erasmus+ funding does not have to be reimbursed.
Students with a degree of disability of at least 20 percent and students with a chronic illness who have additional financial needs are eligible for additional financial support.
Please note: On the Studieren Weltweit website, you will find advice and reports from students with disabilities or chronic illness who stayed abroad.
How to apply
Please submit the sworn declaration (see download box). On request, you must be able to submit appropriate proof (e.g. disability card; for chronic illnesses, a medical certificate that confirms an additional financial need is sufficient (no concrete sum must be specified)).
If the costs incurred during your stay abroad are extraordinarily high (e.g. for accessible accommodation, for the flight or for an accompanying person), you can also submit a so-called real cost application (long application). In this application, you must specify the costs incurred in detail and can then be reimbursed up to €15,000 per semester. Please make sure to submit your application via the International Office no later than two months before the start of your stay abroad.
Preparatory trips to programme countries may also be supported financially. Such trips serve to explore the conditions on site (accessible accommodation, conditions on campus, local public transport, etc.). In addition, one accompanying person as assistant in travels can receive financial support in the form of a lump-sum payment.
Web portal: Inclusive international mobility
As part of the EPFIME project, actors from Flanders, Ireland and the Erasmus Student Network have developed services to improve the mobility of students with disabilities across Europe. This includes the online portal www.inclusivemobility.eu. The platform makes it possible for students to search a database of universities’ offers for international students with disabilities.
Students who take their child or children abroad with them are eligible for additional funding. The concrete amount of funding does not depend on the number of children travelling.
If both parents study abroad simultaneously with Erasmus+, additional funding cannot be applied for twice for the same child. If both parents study abroad simultaneously with Erasmus+ and take at least two children with them, both parents can receive additional funding for one child each.
Please note: On the Studieren Weltweit website, you will find advice and reports from students with children who stayed abroad.
How to apply
Please submit the sworn declaration (see download box). On request, you must be able to submit appropriate proof (e.g. birth certificate, travel documents of the child).
If the costs incurred during your stay abroad are extraordinarily high, you can also submit a so-called real cost application. In this application, you must specify the costs incurred in detail and can then be reimbursed up to €15,000 per semester. Please make sure to submit your application via the International Office no later than two months before the start of your stay abroad.
Preparatory trips to programme countries may also be supported financially. Such trips serve to explore the conditions on site.
Students whose both parents or reference persons do not have a degree from a university or a university of applied sciences can receive additional funding.
The completion of a vocational academy that leads to a degree comparable to that of a university is considered an academic degree. The same applies to studies completed abroad by a parent that are not recognised as an academic degree in Germany (e.g. physiotherapy). In these cases, no additional funding can be requested. A master craftsman certificate (Meisterbrief) is not considered an academic degree; additional funding can be requested.
Please note: On the Studieren Weltweit website, you will find advice and reports from first-generation students who stayed abroad.
How to apply
Please submit the sworn declaration (see download box). On request, you must be able to submit appropriate proof (e.g. information on the parents’ educational qualifications, sworn declaration by the parents).
Working students are eligible for additional funding if:
How to apply
Please submit the sworn declaration (see download box). On request, you must be able to submit appropriate proof (e.g. employment contract, income statements, tax returns).
If you need financial support for the journey to and from your destination, you can apply for two additional travel days (one day for each). The travel days will be added to the duration of stay defined in your grant agreement.
If you would like to apply for additional travel days, please indicate so in the online application portal. For internships abroad, you will only be able to apply for additional travel days for green travel.
Green travel means that low-emission means of transport such as bus, train or carpooling are used for at least half of the journey. If this makes your journey longer, you can be granted up to 6 additional travel days, which are funded with the grant rate of the destination country.
Here are our recommendations:
In addition, you can apply for HSBI’s Green Mobility Grant and receive another €50–150 depending on the distance of your destination.
If you would like to apply for Green Travel/Green Mobility Grant, please specify this in the application form for a semester abroad or for an internship abroad in the online application portal and attach the corresponding sworn declaration to your application (see download box).
