Extra support for students with disabilities

Students with an Erasmus scholarship who, due to permanent disability or illness, need educational support or special adaptations during their time abroad can apply for grants to cover additional costs that arise. Grants can be applied for up to 100 percent coverage of the additional costs that arise in connection with the stay abroad. Additional costs mean the increased costs that the university or the individual student receives and which are not financed in any other way, such as transport, teaching materials, housing, assistant / companion, physiotherapy and medical examination in the host country.
