Procedures for students
Procedure to be recognised as a student with fewer opportunities
What is the procedure to be recognised as a student with fewer opportunities?
The “fewer opportunities” group of participants will be supported in their endeavors through financial grants from programme funds. The additional support (“fewer opportunities” Top-Up) for persons with fewer opportunities is given to:
- Students with a disability
- Students with a chronic illness, if this results in increased financial expenses during the stay abroad (in comparison to the stay in the sending country). A medical certificate (not older than 3 months) must be submitted and, if necessary, additional reports in order to evaluate the impact of the chronic illness on the academic mobility.
- Students with child(ren) who take the child or children with them on the Erasmus+ stay
Necessary documents to provide
