SPECIFIC SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ERASMUS+ PROGRAM STAYS

The SEPIE (Servicio Español para la Internacionalización de la Educación) is the entity that distributes financial funds from the European Union and the MEFP (Ministry of Education and Professional Training) to provide scholarships to students participating in the Erasmus+ program. Scholarships will be awarded following the same criteria used during the selection process until all funds awarded are covered. Students with an allocated place do not have to go through any formalities expressly in order to receive the basic and/or the additional aid, they only have to apply for the aid from the Banco de Santander and the MOBINT grant from the AGAUR.

In order to guarantee the agility in the payment of the aid, it is recommended that you attach a "Certificate of ownership of the bank account" in the Personal Area of the SIA. Beneficiary students will receive the aid from the Erasmus+ program by bank transfer in two payments: the first, after leaving, for an approximate amount of 70% of the total awarded. To access the first payment, the following steps must have been completed: Submit the original digitally signed Subsidy Agreement; Filled out the Banking data section in the sigm@ application; Presented the Certificate of Arrival and Presented the digitally signed “Declaration of responsibility/travel”. All 4 steps are essential to receive payment, you will find more information on how to complete each step in the Informational Dossier.

The second payment, with the remaining amount, will be made when the student has returned and completed the following procedures: Bring the original Certificate of Stay signed by the destination university (which must also clearly state the start dates and of the end of the stay: day, month and year) and Completed the report on the stay carried out through the CE application (Beneficiary Module).

For the start month and the end month of stay, which are usually not full months, the day of departure and return will be taken into account and will be paid proportionally to the days of actual stay in those months ( calculating based on which one month is equal to 30 days).

All those students who, by September 30 of the year following the stay, have not submitted the required documentation, will be given the scholarship as having been waived and will therefore be required to return the amount I would have paid them. Failure to deliver the documentation within the established period will entail the return of all amounts paid.

The decision to award places for the call does not necessarily imply the granting of financial aid, which will depend on the approval of the budgets allocated to the programs by the different institutions involved. In the event that there are no grants for all the students with allocated places, priority will be given to the mobilities of the UAB's own centres, granting a maximum of 10% of the grants to students from affiliated centres. In the event that there are no grants for all students, 85% of the grants from the Erasmus+ mobility calls will go to undergraduate students, 10% to master's students and 5% to doctoral students. The rest of the students who take a mobility stay with the Erasmus+ program can do so in the "zero scholarship" modality without financial endowment.
