Additional funding via Erasmus

Students participating in an Erasmus exchange and who have a permanent or long-term disability can apply for an addition 250 euros per month, in addition to the standard grant. If, during your time abroad, extra costs arise due to your mental or physical disability and which exceed 250 euros, you may apply for extra funding. If you have questions about inclusion funding as part of Erasmus+, please contact the International Office by emailing: exchange@sh.se.
