Financial Support for Erasmus+ Internships

The Erasmus+ Programme provides its participants with a monthly contribution to the higher costs of living abroad. However this allowance will not cover the living expenses completely. Therefore you should check early how to finance your stay abroad. Possibly you have own resources or can apply for an additional scholarship of a foundation or the like. Please find the DAAD scholarship database here: https:/www.daad.de/Deutschland/stipendium/datenbank/en/21148-scholarship-database/
