Financial Support for a Stay Abroad
Every student who goes on a mobility programme, for study visit or intership, is eligible for a grant.
Mobility grants are partial support to compensate for the additional costs of studying abroad, i.e. travel, accommodation, language preparation if necessary, higher living costs in the host country, etc. Grants are not intended to cover the full cost of studying abroad.
The amounts vary according to the destination and/or the type of stay.
The scholarship application is filled in automatically* at the registration via myULiège. If the student does not wish to benefit from financial aid, he/she should notify his/her International Relations file manager by e-mail.
ULiège does his best to award scholarships to all mobile students, within the limits of available funds. Priority is given to AMO students, study mobilities and unpaid internships.
The grant is paid* in two instalments: 70% on arrival (after sending the contract and proof of arrival) and 30% on return (after sending the reports and proof of stay).
Scholarships are calculated on the basis of the academic calendar (first day of compulsory attendance and date of the last exam of the first session). Any second sessions are not covered by a scholarship.
Grants are paid into European bank accounts only.
* The scholarships are available to students who have been selected for a study visit or internship within the announced deadlines, subject to the availability of European and national funds. In the event that the budget received does not allow for the financing of all stays, priority is given to students with fewer opportunities (AMO), study stays and unpaid internships.
** As soon as your mobility file is in order, your file manager will provide you with your mobility contract. This must be returned signed and accompanied by the certificate of arrival completed and signed by your host university. Upon receipt of these two documents, the International Relations Department will proceed with a first payment corresponding to 70% of the grant estimated in your contract. We base this payment on the estimated duration of your stay.
*** The balance is paid upon receipt of your mobility reports and your end-of-stay certificate. This does not necessarily correspond to the 30% of your estimated scholarship. As the duration of your stay has generally been estimated, we base our decision on the actual dates that appear on your certificate of completion of stay to close your scholarship. In no case will this balance exceed the 30% of your estimated scholarship amount. However, if your stay was shorter than the estimated duration, the balance may vary and be less than expected.
