Grant Amounts(Internship)

Monthly/Daily Grant Amounts by Country/Activity

Students participating in the Erasmus+ mobility programme may receive grant support to contribute to the additional costs arising from their stay abroad. The grant is not intended to cover all of the student’s expenses abroad; rather, it is intended to contribute to the costs incurred during the mobility period.

Students receive a monthly grant for the duration of their activity abroad. Grant payments are made in two instalments:

• First payment: 80% of the total grant is paid before the student starts the mobility.

• Second payment: The remaining 20% is paid after the student completes the mobility, returns from abroad, and submits all required return documents in full.

A) Student/Recent Graduate Mobility to Programme-Associated Countries

Under the KA131 project, the countries in which Erasmus+ mobility can be carried out are divided into three different country groups, taking living costs into account. The monthly grant amounts for studies and traineeships are determined for each country group and apply to the relevant project period.

For students benefiting from the KA131 project during the 2025 and 2026 project periods, the country groups and monthly grant amounts are as follows:

B) Student/Recent Graduate Mobility to Non-Programme-Associated Countries (International Mobility)

Within the scope of International Mobility that may be carried out under KA131 projects, subject to the provisions specified in the grant agreement and its annexes, the individual support grant amounts applicable to students/recent graduates undertaking mobility to non-programme-associated countries are provided below:

C) Short-Term Physical Student Mobility

The individual support amounts for Blended Mobility, Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs), and Short-Term Doctoral Mobility during the 2025 and 2026 project periods are as follows:

!!! Students may receive individual support for one travel day before the activity and one travel day after the activity, provided that they prove their entry into and exit from Türkiye one day before the mobility start date and one day after the mobility end date by submitting their boarding passes or a barcode document obtained from e-Government (e-Devlet).

Travel Support Calculation

In order to contribute to students’ travel expenses, the distance between the starting point of the mobility and the location where the activity takes place is determined using the European Commission’s Distance Calculator.

European Commission Distance Calculator

The calculated distance is matched with the relevant distance band in the table below to determine the travel support. The amount indicated in the table is the total amount for the round-trip journey; therefore, the grant amount corresponding to the calculated distance must not be multiplied by two.

Green Travel

Green travel refers to the use of low-emission means of transport during the mobility period. Train, bus and carpooling/shared car are considered green travel.

To benefit from green travel support:

• Both the outbound and return journeys must be made using green means of transport.

• More than half of the total travel distance must be covered using green means of transport.

The amount and payment conditions of green travel support are determined in accordance with the Erasmus+ grant and implementation rules applicable to the relevant academic year.

Grant Payments and Calculation of the Mobility Duration

• The student’s mobility period and grant amount are initially estimated before the mobility begins. After the activity is completed, the grant amount is recalculated based on the actual start and end dates indicated in the Certificate of Attendance.

• The grant is calculated through the Beneficiary Module (BM).

• The student’s first grant payment is made in euros and corresponds to 80% of the total grant amount specified in the student grant agreement.

• The first payment is made within 30 calendar days after the grant agreement has been signed by both parties or following the start of the mobility period/receipt of the arrival confirmation, whichever occurs first. The arrival confirmation requirement does not apply to participants receiving support as participants with fewer opportunities or Inclusion Support.

• At the end of the activity, completion of the Online Participant Survey by the student is considered a request for payment of the remaining grant amount. If a balance remains payable, the payment is made within a maximum of 45 days following completion of the survey.

Grant Reductions

Possible reductions in the grant amount may be applied depending on whether the student fulfils their obligations during the mobility period.

• In case of academic failure: A grant reduction may be applied in accordance with the relevant Erasmus+ rules, taking into account the status of the failed courses and credits.

• Failure to complete the Participant Survey: Except in cases of technical problems, a reduction corresponding to 20% of the total actual mobility period used as the basis for the grant calculation is applied to students who fail to complete the Online Participant Survey.

• Failure to document the mobility: If the student fails to submit a Certificate of Attendance or an equivalent Transcript of Records (ToR) proving participation in the mobility, the mobility is considered invalid. In this case, no grant is paid and any grant amount previously paid is recovered from the student.

Students Participating Without a Grant (“Zero-Grant” Students)

Students may participate in Erasmus+ mobility without receiving a grant. Zero-grant students are subject to the same application and selection procedures as students receiving grants and may benefit from the academic rights arising from the mobility. The main difference is that zero-grant students are not included in the grant budget and do not receive Erasmus+ financial support. Not receiving a grant does not prevent a student from participating in the Erasmus+ selection process.
