I recently got accepted into the Erasmus Mundus CLIDE program with a tuition fee waiver (so no full scholarship/stipend). The mobility track is:

• Spain (Granada)
• Austria (Steyr)
• Poland (Toruń)

I’m super excited, but also trying to figure out the financial side before committing.

From what I understand, the full Erasmus Mundus scholarship usually covers tuition + ~€1400/month, but since I only have a fee waiver, I’ll need to fund living + mobility costs myself.

I’ve been trying to understand a few things:

• How do Erasmus+ mobility grants work? Can fee-waiver students apply separately? Are there any chances that the program would support my expenses if full scholarship students back out later on
• Any other funding sources (uni grants, external scholarships)?
• If not for scholarships, would it be possible to cover living expenses with part time internships (will i even get those considering i dont speak spanish/german/polish - ive started to learn the languages but it'll obv take time)
• Is this worth it without the full stipend?

So I’m trying to figure out realistically:

• total cost vs ROI
• how common additional funding actually is

Would really appreciate any insights from people who did Erasmus Mundus (especially without the main scholarship) or know how funding works in practice.

Thanks
