Zero grant funding
Students will be awarded the mobility grant for a shorter period of time, unless sufficient financial resources are available.
The remaining stay is recorded as a so-called zero-grant period. A mobility can also be carried out as a complete Zero Grant period, i.e. students benefit from the advantages of the Erasmus programme, but do not receive any financial support from the programme.
