ERASMUS+ GRANT: for students studying within the EU
How do I qualify for the Erasmus+ Grant? Do I need to apply for the grant?
You must spend at least two months abroad to qualify for the Erasmus+ grant, but you do not need to apply for the Erasmus+ grant. If you have been nominated and accepted your place at a partner university within the EU, you automatically are eligible to receive the grant.
How much is the Erasmus+ Grant?
The grant is not means tested and does not affect entitlement to other grants such as SUSI. The grant amount is €330 to €385 per month depending on which country you are studying in and the amounts paid are subject to annual review by the Higher Education Authority.
How do I receive the Erasmus+ Grant funds?
The grant is paid in three instalments (December, April and July/August) by electronic funds transfer into your Irish bank account via the Student Web Portal.
The MU International Office will pay the Erasmus+ grant if you submit all the required paperwork on time. This includes the Erasmus Grant Agreement and Certificate of Attendance Form.
The MU International Office will hold Pre-Departure Information sessions and will explain how and when to complete the required forms to ensure you receive the Erasmus+ grant payment.
Please note that if you do not complete your MU registration or submit the required paperwork to the MU International Office, you will not receive the Erasmus+ grant.
