-
The information on this webpage has been updated for students planning to go abroad for their study programme in 2024-2025. Students who have been, or are currently, on an exchange programme should refer to their Grant Agreement for more specific information about their grant. The information below is only for exchange students going abroad in the next academic year for a study programme.
-
Depending on where your exchange programme takes place, the countries listed in Table A indicates the monthly amount of scholarship you will receive. In addition to this monthly amount, all students will receive an additional travel grant (called No Green Travel) based on the distance from TU Delft to the Host University. Distances are calculated using a distance band between TU Delft Aula as the place of origin, and the venue of the activity for your Erasmus+ mobility (main address of the host institute).
-
Students planning to go on an exchange in the academic year of 2025-2026 can find general information about the Erasmus+ Scholarship here. Please be aware changes will occur to the application procedure and financing. TU Delft expects to receive updates from the EU and our national Agency – Nuffic in May 2025.

Students will receive a standard monthly grant which will include a Travel Distance Allowance. Check the two tables below to see which grant amounts you may receive.
For example:
Student going to DTU in Denmark will receive €390 per month + a one-time payment of €309 for their travel allowance.

If you travel sustainably to and from your destination, you will receive a one-time payment of the ‘Green Travel’ amount with the last payment of 30%.
Example of calculation:
Travel distance to host 150 km, student receives €211,- from the No Green Travel grant with their first payment. Student travels green and will receive the remaining amount of €74,- with their second payment.

You cannot apply for an Erasmus+ grant for studies in Switzerland. Instead, the Swiss university may be able to apply for a grant for you via the Swiss European Mobility Programme. Contact your Swiss host university for details.
-
For students planning to go abroad, the Erasmus+ Scholarship provides additional ‘Top Ups’ for students who plan to travel ‘Green’ to their host university and to those students needing extra funding for health or financial barriers, who without this funding would not be able to experience an exchange abroad.
-
Students who choose sustainable travel methods—such as train, bus, bike, or carpooling with fellow TU Delft students (excluding family)—to and from their host university at the beginning and end of their exchange program can apply for extra funding. If approved, this funding will be added to the Erasmus+ grant and is based on the travel distance in kilometers between TU Delft and the host institution. The additional funding will be paid out once your exchange program is complete. Please remember to save your travel tickets as proof. You can request this top up in Osiris Student. Required documents can be found online.

Students with fewer opportunities planning to study abroad may be eligible for an inclusion top-up. Those facing health and/or economic barriers can receive an additional €250 per month (per 30 days) if they are unable to participate without this support. If you meet both criteria, you may submit either a DUO statement or a medical statement AND Inclusion Declaration. You must submit these additional top up documents with your Erasmus+ application otherwise you run the risk that your application is refused, or your grant is (partially) withdrawn.
Send an email to erasmusgrant@tudelft.nl in which you clearly indicate which document(s) you cannot submit on time and why. Note that it is at all times the responsibility of the student to (1) ensure that all the required documents are complete, signed and submitted within the timelines given and (2) inform the Mobility Team -ESA of any delays in submitting the required documents. It's recommended to contact your host university to learn about their support network before your start date e.g. wheelchair accessibility, psychologists etc.
