[edit] The grants

The European Union also gives grants under the Erasmus programme. These are designed to cover part of the cost of moving from one country to another (travel, language training needed, higher cost of living in the country you are moving to). You are also entitled to continue to receive in full any grants or loans being paid to you in your home Member State. To obtain a grant, student must provide several documents :

• the student contract (2 copies)
• Learning agreement firmed by both universities
• A document with the arrival and leaving dates
• A document (provided by the official organism)

It can be combined with additional funds provided by the university, the Member States, Regions or by other public or private bodies. The National Agencies in charge of the Erasmus Programme, or the international relations offices of the participating universities, inform the students about other grants which may be available in their respective country.

Furthermore, as an Erasmus student in a country with a language which is less widely taught or used, you may receive appropriate language training (organisation of special courses, provision of language books, etc.) and guidance and supervision from your home and host establishments, including practical help with organising your stay and arranging accommodation. There are also specific support arrangements for disabled students.
