Application

1. When you fill out the application in MoveON, select "yes" in response to the question "Would you like to apply for the inclusion top-up for applicants with children?".
2. Order a family certificate from the Swedish Tax Agency's website, confirming that you are the parent of the child/children. Once you have received it, scan the certificate and upload it in your application in MoveON. The family certificate must clearly display your and your child's name, along with your relationship to each other. If you are not a Swedish citizen and cannot obtain the family certificate, please contact us at erasmus@uu.se.

If you are a student eligible for additional funding from Erasmus+, you can apply for further financial support to cover actual expenses through the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR). This financial support is intended to cover extra costs that exceed the monthly amount of additional funding you have been granted, which may arise during your studies or traineeship abroad.

Please note that if you have already been granted additional funding, you may also be granted inclusion support for actual additional expenses related to a different inclusion category. The application for inclusion support for actual additional costs must be justified by the applicant and approved by the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR).

Eligibility requirements

• The value of your actual additional costs must exceed the monthly value of the inclusion support for students with children and/or disabilities that you have already been granted
• If you want to apply for actual costs for pedagogical support, you can do so only if the pedagogical support is not already offered for free at the host organisation.

Examples of costs that can be covered by inclusion support:

• Costs for bringing support equipment or aids.
• Costs for adapted accommodation due to disability or high rent for accompanying children.
• Costs for psychological treatments.
• Costs for childcare (only applicable if you bring your child/children on the exchange or traineeship).
• Costs for a preparatory visit to the study or traineeship location.
• Costs for accompanying persons.

Application

1. When you fill out the application in MoveON, select "yes" in response to the question "Would you like to apply for the inclusion support for actual costs?"
2. Please complete the document Application for inclusion support for actual costs for studying abroad within Erasmus+ (PDF) Pdf, 149 kB., where you provide your justification for your eligibility for inclusion support for actual expenses.
3. Attach a certificate from the coordinator for pedagogical support at Uppsala University or from, for example, a doctor or psychologist, specifying your disability. The certificate is considered sensitive information and will be handled accordingly. Please note that your name must be included in the certificate.

After you have submitted your application, the Unit for International Mobility will submit an additional application (excluding any diagnosis) to the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) for approval. The Unit for International Mobility will contact you as soon as we receive a decision from UHR. Starting the application process early will result in a quicker decision from UHR.
