ERASMUS+ funding of internships:
The monthly funding depends on the respective countries and project year.
To receive funding, the minimum duration of the internship abroad is two months. The applicants can receive funding for a maximum duration of three months. In case of a longer stay it is therefore possible that the duration of the applicants' stay can vary from the duration of the financial funding. 

Students with child(ren), students with disabilities (from GdB 20) and chronic illness, students from a non-academic family and working students can also apply for special funding (after funding confirmation).  

Please note: Travel and other expenses are NOT covered by the funding! Students receive Erasmus+ funding during their stay abroad as a subsidy for additional costs incurred abroad (not a full scholarship). Parallel funding of participants for similar costs from other EU programs is excluded.
