Scholarships

Enrich your curricula by studying abroad!

Looking for a scholarship to study abroad? You’re in the right place!

Are you a university student? Ask your university’s international office about the available options and the monthly allowance to study at a partner university abroad with Erasmus+.

A wide range of organisations offer scholarships based on merit, need, or specific talents. Most are selective, so make sure you meet the criteria and submit a strong application.

Discover the latest opportunities on the Eurodesk Opportunity Finder and find additional information on the European Youth Portal.

Youth Exchanges

Open up your mind!

How do you feel about going abroad as a part of a youth exchange to debate with your peers or to discover another culture through a school exchange? Lots of options await!

Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges enable you to meet young people from other countries, discover new cultures, and debate topics that matter to you – all with costs covered.

Organisations also run international youth camps, for which you may have to pay a fee. 

Still at school? With Erasmus+ school exchanges, entire classes or groups can go abroad together for up to one month, while solo pupils have the chance to stay for up to one year. If your school hasn’t joined yet, invite them to read Erasmus+, what’s in it for me?.

You can also participate in a school exchange via a specialised organisation such as YEU (Youth for Exchange and Understanding) and EFIL (European Federation for Intercultural Learning), for a fee.
