There are, however, grants available to help defray the costs of your mobility. Here are a few tips and you can find all the practical information you need in this practical guide concocted by the
International Relations Department.
If you complete an internship of at least 2 months and take part in the Erasmus+ program, you will be eligible for an Erasmus + grant .
If you receive a grant based on social criteria and are not eligible for an Erasmus+ grant, you may be entitled to theAide à la Mobilité Internationale (AMI) .
Additional funding is available if :
- you have a very low income, or if you live in a rural revitalization zone or a priority district.
