The International Mobility grant offers the opportunity to fund students going outside of the EU/EEA with an Erasmus+ grant. Since the budget available is limited, not all options as presented under the Erasmus+ Programme are available, and the grant is only offered for a limited number of partners institutions.
- You must be registered as a full-time student at Erasmus University Rotterdam
- You are not going to pay tuition at the host institution
- You must be selected for study exchange at a partner university in one of the participating partners: Australia - Western Sydney University; Canada - University of Calgary; Japan - Keio University; United Kingdom - University of Leeds. Students going on exchange to other partners cannot apply for this grant.
- You will live in the country of the partner university, but you are not yet a resident there before your exchange.
- The scholarship is only available for students going on exchange in the first semester of academic year 2025-2026.
- The scholarship will be granted for a maximum of 2 months for outside Europe and 3 months for the UK. If your exchange is longer, then your grant will still be for these maximum months.
- The International Mobility grant is part of the Erasmus+ Programme. After being selected, you are therefore still required to follow the application procedure for the Erasmus+ grant and hand in all documentation, such as the Learning Agreement and Grant Agreement on time.
- You cannot receive both this grant and the NL Scholarship Grant.

Mid-February the application procedure for the grant will open in Osiris. Create a new request and select “Application International Mobility Grant 2025-2026”.
Required documents:
- Confirmation of your exchange spot (such as email from your faculty stating that you have been selected and mentioning the name of the destination).
- Motivation Letter (approximately 1 page)
- Budget Plan
- CV
In the selection we mainly look at Financial Need. This means that we will look to see whether you have used all the possible funding in your budget plan and still have a gap that can be covered by the grant. In the motivation letter we expect you to explain what your motivation is for going on exchange to this destination but also focus on explaining your budget plan.
Deadline for application: 14 March 2025
