Mobility Grants

Students receive mobility grants according to the university budget allocated by the Turkish National Agency. The mobility grants are not for covering all the expenses of study abroad periods. Mobility grants’ purpose is to support students during their study abroad periods. Students can choose not to receive their mobility grants.
Students are eligible to participate in the Erasmus program even though they may not receive mobility grants.
Regarding Erasmus Student Exchange Program or Erasmus Internship Program, students can receive mobility grants only for 12 months in total, for each level of education (undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate). However students, who completed 12 months at a level, can participate in Erasmus Exchange program for more than once without receiving mobility grants. However, (s)he can participate in Erasmus Exchange program or Erasmus Internship Program once again without receiving mobility grants. If the student participated in Erasmus Exchange program at a level of higher education with grant, that student can participate in the Erasmus Exchange program at the same level again without grant, on the condition of getting approval by the Faculty. If the student received mobility grants for Erasmus Internship Program, (s)he can also receive mobility grants for Erasmus Exchange Program, as well. This means, students can receive mobility grants for 12 months in total for each of the Erasmus programs (Erasmus Exchange or Erasmus Placement), at each level.
