-
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.

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.
Additional financial support for students
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.
Green Travel Top Up
-
Students who choose to travel sustainably to and from their host university at the start and end of their exchange programme can apply for this additional funding. If your journeys are by train, bus, bike or carpooling with a fellow TU Delft student/s (not family) you are eligible. If awarded, you will receive extra funding on top of your E+ grant based on the kilometre distance of your host from TU Delft after you have completed and concluded your exchange programme.
How to apply:
-
Indicate that you would like to receive this additional financial support by selecting ‘yes’ in the Learning agreement.
-
Within 4 weeks of completion of your exchange programme, provide proof of your sustainable travel. Complete the Declaration of Honour – Green Travel form.
-
Send as one PDF, the Declaration of Honour and proof of travel (full screenshots/scans of tickets or receipts).
-
All carpooling students will need to complete their own carpool form and fellow carpooling students form.
-
The Statement of Host and Travel report.
-
Your Top-up amount will be added to the last 30% of your Erasmus+ scholarship payment.
-
If you did not apply for the green Travel top up and you did travel to your destination and plan to return to TU Delft sustainably, please complete a ‘Changes to the Learning agreement (CttLA)” form within 5 weeks of your arrival at the organization/company. If this is the only change to your CttLA form, you only need your own signature.

Inclusion Top Up
Students with fewer opportunities who plan to study abroad could be eligible to apply for an inclusion top up. Students facing health and/or economic barriers may receive an inclusion top up of 250EURO per month (per 30 days) should they not be able to go abroad without it. If you fall in to both groups, you may upload a DUO-statement OR a medical statement, whichever is preferable for you. It is advisable to contact your host university to find out more about their own support network and guidance before your start date. Should the additional top up(s) amount along with the Erasmus+ scholarship not be sufficient to enable you to go abroad, and/or you are not able to provide the required proof, please send an email to erasmusgrant@tudelft.nl.
