Erasmus+ study mobility grants for EU countries, Switzerland and the UK
The Erasmus+ scholarship is funded by the European Union, a grant from the Ministry of University and Research (if eligible) and one from the University.
Visa fees, medical insurance and other costs required to enter into the country of destination are not refundable.
Erasmus student status allows exemption from paying tuition fees at the host institution (tuition fees will only be paid to the home institution) and the possibility of using the services (libraries, laboratories, etc.) provided by the host institution. However, some universities (particularly German universities) may charge fees for insurance, membership in student associations and various materials (such as photocopiers, laboratory equipment, etc.) on a par with local students. Please visit your host institution's website for more information.
The Erasmus grant is compatible with any national grants and/or loans. At the same time, it is incompatible with other EU grants or other funding from bilateral cultural agreements and international bodies.
Mobility grants in detail:
The grant will be paid in two installments:
- 80% of the total (calculated on the duration of the mobility specified in the Agreement) will be processed within 30 days of the registration of the arrival declaration at the host University, provided that the following are already available: bank details, countersigned financial agreement, and validated learning agreement.
- Any remaining balance upon return from the Erasmus mobility, subject to verification of the actual mobility carried out and certified by the host University (see Certificate of Attendance).
Any funding for extension periods will be paid at the end of the mobility based on the days actually completed and the availability of funds. Beneficiaries will be notified in any case.

participants with disabilities or specific chronic diseases (such as celiac disease),
certified by medical documentation issued by the ASL (Local Health
Authority)/recognized healthcare facility/INPS proving the special need.

National Agency Indire.
Mobility beneficiaries enrolled up to their first year beyond the standard duration of the course (fuori corso) may also receive an additional monthly grant from Sapienza and the

For the purpose of calculating the additional grant, the ISEE value present on Infostud on the day following the application deadline will be considered. If no ISEE value is available, the additional grant will be allocated in the amount specified for the maximum bracket (€55,000.00).
