Erasmus Grant
The European Commission, through the UK Erasmus National Agency,
provides eligible students with a grant to help them with their
time abroad. Erasmus grants are available to students who study or
work abroad in a European Union (EU) country, an EEA country or
Turkey. There are no grants for students who study or work in
countries outside of those participating in the Erasmus
programme.
Erasmus Grant Eligibility
Erasmus grants are supplementary, non-repayable grants intended to
offset any additional expenses you may incur while you are abroad.
You are eligible to receive an Erasmus grant if
• You are fully registered and following a recognised
degree at Regent’s College
• You study at one of EBS London’s Erasmus partners in
Europe
• You study / work for a minimum of 3 months (and no more than
12 months)
• You have completed at least 1 year at Higher Education
• You have not previously received an Erasmus grant (unless
you do two consecutive semesters abroad within the same academic
year, e.g. Autumn 2011/Spring 2012).
How To Apply For The Grant
If you are eligible to receive a grant, you will automatically
be contacted by the International Partnerships
Office via email and sent the relevant documents to
complete.
The grant is calculated in euro based on the exact number of
months you will be studying / working. The amount of grant
available varies from year to year. In 2009-10 students received
€365 per month. Please note that the amount of grant you receive
will also depend on where you go and the length of your stay.
The British
Council are the National Agency who administers the Erasmus
programme in the UK. Further details about the Erasmus programme
including case studies and country guides can be found on their
website.

"A year ago, before applying for this scholarship, I never imagined what a significant impact it would make on my life. By the time I submitted my entry I had improved my knowledge of China, interviewed the former US ambassador to the EU, and enjoyed a coffee in London with an exiled high commissioner. The scholarship is an amazing opportunity for students to open their minds and experience real world initiatives."
