ERASMUS+ GRANT: for students studying within the EU
How do I qualify for the Erasmus+ Grant? Do I need to apply for the grant?
You must spend at least two months abroad to qualify for the Erasmus+ grant, but you do not need to apply for the Erasmus+ grant. If you have been nominated and accepted your place at a partner university within the EU, you automatically are eligible to receive the grant.
How much is the Erasmus+ Grant?
The grant is not means tested and does not affect entitlement to other grants such as SUSI. The grant amount is €330 to €385 per month depending on which country you are studying in and the amounts paid are subject to annual review by the Higher Education Authority.
How do I receive the Erasmus+ Grant funds?
The grant is paid in three instalments (December, April and July/August) by electronic funds transfer into your Irish bank account via the Student Web Portal. The MU International Office will pay the Erasmus+ grant if you submit all the required paperwork on time. This includes the Erasmus Grant Agreement and Certificate of Attendance Form. The MU International Office will hold Before You Go Information sessions in early May and will explain how and when to complete the required forms to ensure you receive the Erasmus+ grant payment. Please note that if you do not complete your MU registration or submit the required paperwork to the MU International Office, you will not receive the Erasmus+ grant.
