Economic grants

ERASMUS+ GRANTS

The SEPIE (Servicio Español para la Internacionalización de la Educación) is the entity that distributes the economic funds from the European Union and the MEFP (Ministry of Education and Vocational Training) to receive the students participating in the Erasmus+ program. The grants will be awarded according to the same criteria used during the selection process until they cover all the funds awarded. Students with an assigned place do not have to carry out any procedure expressly in order to receive the basic and/or additional grant, they only have to apply for the Banco de Santander grants and the MOBINT grant at AGAUR.

In order to guarantee the agility in the payment of the grants, it is recommended that you attach a “Certificate of ownership of the bank account” to the Personal Area of the SIA. The beneficiary students will receive the grant from the Erasmus+ program by bank transfer in two payments: the first, after leaving, for an approximate amount of 70% of the total awarded. To access the first payment you must have completed the following steps: Submit the original grant agreement signed digitally; fill in the Banking Data section in the sigm' application; submit the Certificate of Arrival and present the digitally signed “Declaration of Responsibility/Journey”. All 4 steps are essential to receive the payment, you will find more information on how to take each step in the infografic "What do I have to do once I have my vacancy".

The second payment, with the remaining amount, will be made when the student has returned and has carried out the following procedures: provide the original Certificate of stay signed by the host university (where the start and end dates of the stay must also be clearly stated: day, month and year) and fill in the Report (EU Survey).

The payment of the grant will be take into accound the days of beginning and end of the mobility d will be paid proportionally to the days of real stay of those months (calculating according to that one month is equal to 30 days). If there is no available budget to finance all the awarded stays for their planned duration, the maximum number of financed months may be limited in order to grant the highest number of possible aids.

All those students who, on 10 September of the course following their stay, have not submitted the required documentation, will be given the waiver of the grant and, therefore, will be required to refund the amount paid to them. Failure to submit the documentation within the established period will imply the return of all the amounts paid.

The decision to award places for the destination of the call does not necessarily imply the granting of an economic aid that will depend on the approval of the budgets allocated to the programs by the different institutions involved. In the event that there are no grants for all students with a place awarded, priority will be given to the mobility of the UAB's own centres, granting a maximum of 10% of the grants to students from affiliated centres. In the event that there are no grants for all students, 85% of the grants for Erasmus+ mobility calls will go to undergraduate students, 10% to master's students and 5% to doctoral students. The rest of the students who do a mobility stay with the Erasmus+ program will be able to do so in the "zero scholarship" modality without financial endowment.

Grants - Assets of grants (Single support and travel aid) according to funding funds (Erasmus+ project) and destination countries:

Grants from Erasmus KA131 projects of 2024 and 2025:

• Individual support 

Switzerland is outside the Erasmus+ programme, but the places agreed with higher education institutions in that country will be offered during this call. People who obtain a place in a destination in Switzerland will not be able to receive financial aid from the European Union, and they will have to process the financing directly with the Swiss government (Swiss-European Mobility Programme): 

• Travel aid 

(*) Additional help for students with fewer opportunities for all projects:

The Erasmus+ program considers students with fewer opportunities those who meet various economic, health, or other criteria. These students may be granted an additional aid of €250/month, provided that there is available budget. The 2025-26 International Mobility call establishes that additional aids will be granted following the order of priority below, until the available budget is exhausted:

• Economic causes (study grants, refugees, minimum life income benefit or minimum insertion income, scholarships from the Finstraa Program, Salari-Itaca scholarships).
• Health causes (disability, other health problems) and 
• Other causes (large family, victims of gender violence, victims of terrorism, receive the provision of orphanage, have a report of social services that accredits the situation of risk of social exclusion of the family unit, have a certificate of dependency or participants with dependent people in charge, students with full-time employment contracts and / or single-parent family.

(**)Complementary amount to the individual support for ecological displacement The payment of this complementary amount will be made at the end of the exchange stay once the Certificate of stay has been provided. If you have made an ecological trip on the way back and/or on the return of your exchange stay, you will have to fill in this form and attach the signed declaration. It is considered ecological trip the one made by train, bus or shared car.

The Agency for Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR) announces grants for international mobility every year. In previous calls, the amount was €200 per month with a maximum of 6 months.
More information at agaur.gencat.cat, “grants and grants” section.
Interested parties must submit the application directly to the AGAUR within the deadlines established by that agency.

OTHER COMPLEMENTARY GRANTS

There are other grants that grant Countries, Autonomous Communities, Regional Councils, Foundations, etc. These grants are compatible with the rest of the aforementioned grants.

COMPATIBILITY OF THE ERASMUS+ GRANT WITH OTHER GRANTS 

If you receive the unemployment benefit or other grants for exchange stays abroad, contact the body that grants the financial aid to determine whether or not it is compatible with the Erasmus+ grant. If it is not, participation in the Erasmus+ program would be done without receiving financial aid, in the modality of zero scholarship.
