Erasmus+ scholarship for studies

As a student registered at Jönköping University, you have the possibility to study for 2-12 months at one of our Erasmus+ partner universities. All students that are selected and nominated as Erasmus students can apply for an Erasmus+ scholarship for studies. The scholarship is an EU funded financial support to help you cover additional costs related to your mobility abroad.

The scholarship amount is based on the length of your exchange period (number of days) and receiving country. The duration of stay on-campus needs to be min. 60 days and max. 360 days. Currently, the scholarship amount is between 510-560€ per month (Erasmus+ project 2023).
