1. Funding through »Social Top-Up«

Who is eligible for this funding?

Students with child/ren and students with a GdB (degree of disability) of at least 50 (project 2020) respectively 20 (project 2021) who will receive an ERASMUS scholarship from Bauhaus-Universität for an ERASMUS funded study visit or internship abroad.

How can I apply for this funding?

The application for this Social Top-Up is made together with your application for an ERASMUS scholarship via the upload of a signed "declaration of honour". You will receive a monthly grant of 250 EUR in addition to your ERASMUS scholarship.

Please note that this Social Top-Up is subject to proof.

2. Funding through »Long Application«

Who can apply for funding?

Students with child/ren or students with a GdB (degree of disability) of at least 20 who are eligible for an ERASMUS-funded stay abroad.

How can I apply for funding?

The application for funding through the "Long Application" is made in cooperation between the International Office and the student.

Please contact the International Office at least 3 months before the start of your mobility so that there is still enough time to prepare the application.

How much funding is available?

The amount of the grant is determined by the eligible additional costs incurred by the student due to the entrainment of their child/ren or his/her chronic illness or disability. Corresponding calculations and evidence must be prepared for the calculation of the additional funding (max. 15.000 Euro).

Notes on the funding amount in the ERASMUS programme

The funding rates and funding criteria in the ERASMUS programme are set by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The maximum possible funding period and funding amount is determined by the amount approved by the DAAD in the so-called "Grant Agreement". The scholarship amount for the students is determined on the basis of their information on the duration of their stay in the "Application for ERASMUS Scholarship" and the available budget. Against this background, it is possible that the financial ERASMUS funding period is shorter than the duration of the student's stay. The students will be informed about the exact amount of the grant when the "Grant Agreements" are sent out.
