Student Mobility Scholarship

Scholarships will be distributed based on the ranking resulting from the selection process and the funds allocated to FCT.
Students awarded a scholarship must check the amount granted when they are asked to sign the Erasmus contract (the student will receive an email regarding this matter).
Based on the planned mobility period, a scholarship will be awarded (when applicable). The student will receive 70% of this amount within 30 days after the contract is signed by the Rectorate.
The table below shows the monthly reference base amount (except for so-called “zero grants”) awarded for each full month. In the case of incomplete months, the amount corresponds to one full month minus 1/30 of the monthly amount for each missing day, rounded to the nearest unit:

* For mobility in Partner Countries and Other Countries, the IIA is mandatory whenever it occurs in a Higher Education Institution. In other institutions, it is not mandatory.

Travel Support

GT - Green Travel: Travel in which most of the journey is made using low-emission means of transport, such as trains, buses or shared cars. This must be declared before the contract is issued with a Declaration of Commitment of Honor by the participant.
After the conclusion of the mobility, documents attesting to the fact that the travel was made using sustainable means (tickets, toll and fuel receipts, etc.) must be presented.
At the end of the mobility, according to the actually fulfilled mobility days (after submitting the declaration of stay and the Traineeship Certificate via platform, and having submitted the final report in the Mobility Tool), the student will receive (when applicable) the final balance of the scholarship, as per the following rules:

• has exactly fulfilled the number of planned days: 30% of the amount originally planned;

• length of stay is lesser than the time originally planned: the scholarship is recalculated and is paid the difference between the new amount and the amount already received. If the new amount is lower than the amount already received, the difference must be reimbursed
• stay was longer than planned: considering that the available funding has been distributed among the participants, reinforcement of the scholarship is not expectable, unless the participant has formalised the request for an extension (up to 30 days before initially planned end of the mobility), and is approved with additional funding;
• if the participant does not successfully complete the traineeship plan (as settled and approved in the Learning Agreement for Traineeships), the EU scholarship will have to be fully reimbursed.
