Exchange students AY 2023-2024
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.
Exchange Students AY 2024-2025
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).
Table A:
Group | Countries | Scholarship |
1 | Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Sweden, Liechtenstein, Norway | €390 per month |
2 | Austria, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Portugal, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, Turkey | €330 per month |
Please note that a calculation will be made on the basis that one month is equivalent to 30 days.
Table B provides an overview of the travel distance, travel grant (No Green Travel) and green travel grant (Green travel). The ‘No Green travel’ amount (one-time payment) will be paid to all students going on exchange, with the first 70% payment. 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.
