Green Scholarship

Did you know that the Erasmus program offers an additional scholarship of 50 EUR for those who travel by train, bus, carpooling, electric car, or bicycle?

The majority of your travel must be done using an environmentally friendly mode of transportation. It's also possible to receive an extra travel grant for up to 4 days for the round-trip journey. This is paid along with the remaining scholarship after the exchange period. You need to document the duration of your travel.

To be awarded the green scholarship, you must provide evidence that you have traveled in an environmentally friendly way, such as a photo of your ticket or a photo of you on a bicycle, etc. You apply by submitting a Declaration of Honour
