Mobility Grant Amounts
Students who attend a European partner university as part of the ERASMUS programme are exempt from paying tuition fees to the host institution. Students also receive a grant to cover extra costs which may arise during their period abroad. The Mobility grant amount varies from year to year as it is dependant on the grant allowance amount set by the European Commission. Minimum amounts have, however, been determined for each country. Unfortunately, the exact amount of the grant can be announced only at short notice. This is because the ERASMUS grant allowance amount is only published by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in July/August.
The Grants 18/19 have been defined on a national level:
|
Group 1

Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, Great Britain |
420 Euro/month |
|
Group 2

360 Euro/month |
|
Group 3
|

Calculation of grants:
Stays up to 149 days: calculation per day
Stays between 150-239 days: 5 months flat
Stays over 239 days: 8 months flat
(1 month = 30 days; except for stays ending on february 28 or 29)
ERASMUS scholarship holders receive a range of organisational help. Students do not need to apply individually to the partner university; the programme representative from Heidelberg University will register students on their behalf. Within the weeks following registration, the host university will contact the scholarship holder and send them various information. Accommodation is often offered in halls of residence and specific language courses and orientation events are organised for ERASMUS scholarship holders.
Additional Financial Support
Students with children, and students with a disability as of grade 30 have the opportunity to apply for additional financial support to cover further costs which may arise. For further information on this support, please contact the International Relations Office in good time (approximately one year) before your period of study abroad begins.
