Level of grants 2020-21 (there will be new figures for Erasmus + in 2021-2027 )
Erasmus mobility grants make a contribution to the costs of a stay at a partner university. Stays can be from a minimum stay of 3 months up to one academic year. The National agencies set grant levels for individual countries. In 2020/21 These have been set for students from Polish institutions as follows:
Group 1: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, UK
€520 per month
Group 2: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain
€500 per month
Group 3: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Northern Macedonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey
€ 450 per month
Additional funds are available for disabled students and students receiving social stipends.
Slightly higher monthly contributions apply for practical placements.
Zero grants
Students may also participate in mobility and enjoy the full benefits of mobility whilst receiving zero funding from the scheme . If you plan zero grant mobility, please make this clear when applying.
Award of funding
In order to ensure that grants are allocated fairly we will proceed on the following basis.
All students accepted for mobility in a given year will be awarded the same percentage (P%) of the suggested monthly maximum grant for their host country.
ie
Grant for student 1: (y months at z Euro) x P%
+
Grant for student 2: (a months at b Euro) x P%
+
Grant for student 3: (c months at d Euro) x P%
+ Grant for student………….
= total allocation for mobility.
Where z, b and d are the amounts specified by the National Agency according to
Permissible levels of grants must be taken into account when students are accepted for funded mobility. If insufficient funds are awarded to GSSR to satisfy all applicants, selection of applicants will take place using a ranking list based based on the documents submitted by students as listed above. Funds will be distributed among those selected to ensure that students are funded for periods of equal duration.
Please note too that amounts may be adjusted during the year if extra funds become available eg following the withdrawal of one or more students.
