Scholarships

All applicants having completed the online application form will be evaluated by an academic commission at each host University and the best candidates will be selected for receiving a scholarship. The list of nominated candidates will be approved by the Education Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) of the European Commission.

Successful applicants will be awarded a scholarship which will cover a monthly subsistence allowance, travel costs and insurance. Participants will not be required to pay any tuition fees at the host university.

Once candidates have been selected for the program, before they start receiving their scholarship, they will be asked to subscribe a specific agreement concerning their duties and responsibilities.

Payments will be transferred to their bank account in Europe.

Travel costs and insurance

Your travel costs will be covered within the total limit of 2,000 – 2,500 euro. These rates are established by the European Commission on the basis of the linear distance between your location of origin and the hosting university premises.

The AREAS Consortium provide a full insurance coverage (health, travel, accident) to all the grant holders participating in the individual mobility activities.

Participation costs

Participants at any level will not be required to pay any fees or compensation (such as tuition and registration fees, additional library, students unions, laboratory consumable costs and language courses costs) to the host universities. Exchange students will continue paying their registration fees at their university of origin.
The tuition fees for students applying for a full degree program will be covered by the project.
The EU financing provides funds for participation costs that will be used by the Consortium to partly compensate the host universities for fees and other costs.
