Erasmus+ grants are awarded to cover “mobility expenses”, namely travel expenses and those resulting from the difference in the cost of living in the host country. These grants are similar to a support subsidy, not intended to cover expenses in full.
Mobility grants are administered by the Erasmus+ National Agency and the University of Lisbon.
The number of scholarships available is limited to the amount granted to ISEG each year. Being an Erasmus mobility student doesn't necessarily mean you're entitled to a mobility grant.
If the student is not awarded an Erasmus mobility grant, he/she can attend the study period with “0 grant", that is, as a student who, despite not receiving a grant, meets all the requirements to participate in a mobility period, having the same rights and obligations as any other Erasmus student.
The mobile student with “0 grant" you may also receive an Erasmus mobility grant from the Rectory of the University of Lisbon through a possible redistribution due to surplus funds from other Faculties of the University of Lisbon.
Methodology used
1) Use of ranking existing when allocating places for the 2023/2024 Student Mobility Applications (1st and 2nd cycles of study):
The averages of ranking of students when applying and assigning vacancies to the respective universities.
2) Allocation of the monthly scholarship recommended by Country
In a first distribution to all students, the monthly grant per country was allocated, as provided for in the SMS and SMP Mobility Grant Table (individual support).
SMS scholarships (study mobility) and SMP scholarships (traineeship mobility) were fully covered by a funded scholarship up to a maximum of 150 days (5 months), the remaining days of the Host University's academic calendar, if applicable, being "zero scholarship".
For the 2023/2024 academic year, all selected students who have applied for the Programme will receive an Erasmus Scholarship.
