Financial support

What is Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is the European Union's programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Its budget of 14.7 billion EUR will provide opportunities for over 4 million Europeans to study, train, and gain experience abroad.

Where to go on an exchange

Erasmus+ offers scholarships to students who wish to study or do a traineeship in the EU (incl. Macedonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Turkey) as a part of their education. As an Erasmus student, you can study at one of INN University’s 50 Erasmus partner institutions without being charged any tuition fee.

The scholarships are granted for a period of 3-12 months for studies, and 2-12 months for traineeships.

Traineeships for recent graduates

INN University offers Erasmus+ scholarship for students who wish to complete a traineeship (internship) at a workplace in an EU country after graduation. This is a unique opportunity to gain (international) work experience. Be aware that if you have used 12 months of possible Erasmus+ support for exchange during the degree, you are not eligible to apply for support during a traineeship after graduation. 

The Erasmus+ grant is not provided to free-movers

The Erasmus+ scholarship for study-related exchanges is awarded to students going to one of our Erasmus+ partner institutions. If you wish to travel to other European institutions where a partner agreement does not exist between the institution and INN University (free-movers), you will not receive the scholarship.

Scholarship rates (2020/2021)

For study-related exchange, an amount of 410-460 EUR is awarded per month (an additional 200 EUR per month for traineeship). The rates depend on the country of destination. The Erasmus+ scholarship comes on top of financial support from the main scholarship.

Students with disabilities

All students (and employees) with disabilities (such as physical, mental, mental health, or health-related disabilities) can apply for an additional Erasmus+ grant of 200 EURO per month. This grant will be provided in addition to the main grant.
