r/ErasmusScholarships

HELPPPPPP, I am in desperate need of urgent advice. I just received a consortium scholarship that is only going to cover my tuition fees. I have received this exact scholarship last year as well. I am already enrolled in a MSc. program in China studying about Offshore Wind turbines. I am extremely tempted of packing and just joining the Norisk program. But they don't cover living costs and I am a poor person. I will barely have about a thousand euros only at arrival if I choose to go there and I have no idea of how I will support myself. They don't provide accommodation so I still have that huge hustle. Should I take the risk, use some of my connections to get some part time job somehow to support myself and live there, but this is also not easy and may not be possible either or might take some time. I genuinely need advice, is it even worth it? I want to have a life in Europe on the long run and China is not a place where I want to stay in the long term so that is why I am so tempted. Tell me how this opportunity could benefit me in the future and compare it with the one that I already have. My current program is a research master's program and I am doing good at it so far. Help me please, I need advice and also experience sharings from people who have been in the same program in the last years or a similar one. And also what are the chances that I can stay there and enroll in another program after finishing it and so on?

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

Hi everyone,

I’m doing an Erasmus+ traineeship in France, officially ending on August 15st. However, I have a local internship starting on August 3rd, so I need to leave France on August 2nd (after 48 days).

I want to avoid repaying the grant. Can I physically return home and complete the remaining two weeks 'remotely' while keeping August 15st as my official end date on the Certificate of Attendance?

Does the National Agency/University verify the exact physical exit via passport stamps or e-gates, or is the date on the Certificate of Attendance enough? If I'm forced to return the grant, can the internship still be recognized on my transcript? Any advice on how to handle this without losing the funding would be great!
