Travel Support Grant
Starting from 2024-2025 Academic Year, Erasmus+ students will be eligible to have additional Travel Support grant. This is a round-trip amount paid once only to contribute to the travel expenses of Erasmus+ students. The distance in kilometers between the starting point of mobility and the location of the activity should be determined using the distance calculator provided by the European Commission. You can access the calculator at http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm. Based on this distance, the travel grant should be calculated according to the table provided below and will be paid to the partipant students:
| Travel Distance | Standard Travel Grant Amount (Euro) | Green Travel Grant Amount (Euro) |
| 10 to 99 KM | 28 | 56 |
| 100 to 499 KM | 211 | 285 |
| 500 to 1999 KM | 309 | 417 |
| 2000 to 2999 KM | 395 | 535 |
| 3000 to 3999 KM | 580 | 785 |
| 4000 to 7999 KM | 1188 | 1188 |
| 8000 KM or more | 1735 | 1735 |
As a general rule, participants are encouraged to use low-emission transportation methods for distances under 500 km. Green travel involves low carbon emission public transportation like buses, trains, and carpooling. To qualify for green travel support, it’s necessary to use green travel both to and from the activity, with more than half of the total travel done using green vehicles.It is assumed that the starting point of the travel is where the sending organization is located and the activity takes place where the host organization is located. If required, individual support grants can be offered for the travel period before and after the activity, extending up to two days for regular travel and up to six days if green travel methods are employed.
