Grants for exchange studies
All exchange studies at our partner universities are free from tuition fees. However, an exchange may entail additional costs such as transportation to the host country. Therefore, there are grant opportunities for several alt. some? of our partner universities. These grants may normally be combined with financial aid from CSN (the Swedish Board of Student Finance).
Erasmus+

Additional support for sustainable means of transport
In addition to the Erasmus grant for studies, you can apply for and receive two grants for travelling sustainably: the top-up for green travel and the Green Travel Grant.
Inclusion Support
If you have a disability or one or several children, you can apply for inclusion support to cover additional costs that exchange studies or a traineeship abroad may result in.
Grants for exchange studies in Switzerland
The Swiss government offers a grant called SEMP of 380 CHF/month to incoming exchange students. The sum corresponds to approximately €386.
If you get selected to do exchange studies in Switzerland, you can apply for the SEMP grant from the Swiss government. Note that you cannot combine CSN with the SEMP grant, so you may have to work out what suits you best.
