What is the procedure to be recognised as a student with fewer opportunities?
Criterias for students with fewer opportunities are determined by the sending institution.
If you have been nominated as an incoming student, you’ll receive an email about the application process with a link to the online application between two months to two weeks prior to the application deadline.
You will be asked to fill out such form, indicating whether you are a special needs student.
Necessary documents to provide
No separate documents are required.
What can students expect?
Automatic assessment based on eligibility criteria. If eligible, the student will be granted the “fewer opportunities” status and any related financial support or benefits.
Diferences for local and international students in the procedure
In case of degree seeking students, the status of “student with fewer opportunities” is assigned automatically based on the university ISEE (financial situation) and/or the criteria set out in specific calls (scholarships, tuition fees, Erasmus).
