At Avans, we feel it is important that every student should be able to take advantage of an international exchange, and we are pleased to announce that a supplementary Erasmus+ grant is available for 46 students in the 2021/22 academic year. This supplementary Erasmus+ grant comes on top of the regular Erasmus+ grant. The supplement is €6 per day, and is intended as financial support for students who need a little extra help during their international student exchange due to special circumstances.
Who is eligible for this supplementary Erasmus+ grant?
Students from families with a lower basic income can apply for the supplementary Erasmus+ grant. You may be eligible for a supplementary Erasmus+ grant if you already receive a supplementary grant from DUO of at least €300. When you apply for the supplementary Erasmus+ grant, you will have to prove that you meet the criteria. The supplementary Erasmus+ grant is currently only available to those on an international student exchange.
The supplementary Erasmus+ grants, 46 of which are available for students on international exchanges, will be distributed evenly over both semesters. If applications outpace availability, then the supplementary Erasmus+ grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. The application period for the supplementary Erasmus+ grant is the same for the regular Erasmus+ grant. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be accepted.
Applications are assessed diligently and confidentially. After you submit your application, we will do a brief check to see if you are indeed eligible. The procedure is fully confidential, taking your privacy into account.
