Studying at the host university – Erasmus grant payment

in academic year 2020/21

The Foundation for the Development of the Education System – The National Agency of the Erasmus+ Programme has provided the following information:
1. the student is not entitled to an Erasmus grant for the period of distance learning at a foreign university if it is carried out in Poland;
2. in the case of distance learning combined with a stay at the host university, the student is entitled to an Erasmus grant only for the actual period of stay abroad for the duration of in-class and/or hybrid learning (combination of in-class and online courses);
3. to this day The European Commission has not decided on whether students studying online only in the country of the host university will be entitled to an Erasmus grant. Before making any financial obligations (e.g. paying a deposit for accommodation) or incurring other costs (e.g. purchasing tickets, insurance), you should carefully read the terms and conditions offered. You should
also be aware of the epidemic situation and check the rules of entry in force in the country of your host university, e.g. on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
