Economic grants

ERASMUS+ GRANTS

The SEPIE (Servicio Español para la Internacionalización de la Educación) is the entity that distributes the economic funds from the European Union and the MEFP (Ministry of Education and Vocational Training) to receive the students participating in the Erasmus+ program. The grants will be awarded according to the same criteria used during the selection process until they cover all the funds awarded. Students with an assigned place do not have to carry out any procedure expressly in order to receive the basic and/or additional grant, they only have to apply for the Banco de Santander grants and the MOBINT grant at AGAUR.

In order to guarantee the agility in the payment of the grants, it is recommended that you attach a “Certificate of ownership of the bank account” to the Personal Area of the SIA. The beneficiary students will receive the grant 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 you must have completed the following steps: Submit the original grant agreement signed digitally; fill in the Banking Data section in the sigm' application; submit the Certificate of Arrival and present the digitally signed “Declaration of Responsibility/Journey”. All 4 steps are essential to receive the payment, you will find more information on how to take each step in the Informative Dossier.

The second payment, with the remaining amount, will be made when the student has returned and has carried out the following procedures: provide the original Certificate of stay signed by the host university (where the start and end dates of the stay must also be clearly stated: day, month and year) and fill in the report on the stay carried out through the application of the CE (Beneficiary Module).

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

All those students who, on 30 September of the course following their stay, have not submitted the required documentation, will be given the waiver of the grant and, therefore, will be required to refund the amount paid to them. Failure to submit the documentation within the established period will imply the return of all the amounts paid.

The decision to award places for the destination of the call does not necessarily imply the granting of an economic aid that 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 students with a place awarded, priority will be given to the mobility 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 for Erasmus+ mobility calls will go to undergraduate students, 10% to master's students and 5% to doctoral students. The rest of the students who do a mobility stay with the Erasmus+ program will be able to do so in the "zero scholarship" modality without financial endowment.

COMPATIBILITY OF THE ERASMUS+ GRANT WITH OTHER GRANTS 

If you receive the unemployment benefit or other grants for exchange stays abroad, contact the body that grants the financial aid to determine whether or not it is compatible with the Erasmus+ grant. If it is not, participation in the Erasmus+ program would be done without receiving financial aid, in the modality of zero scholarship.
