Grants:

Being selected to be an Erasmus+ student does not guarantee that Erasmus+ mobility grant will also be provided.

BAU Erasmus Office is responsible to select the outgoing Erasmus students. Based on the number of selected students, the Erasmus Office applies to the Turkish National Agency for a budget of Erasmus mobility grants for the following academic year. The Turkish National Agency allocates a budget of mobility grants to BAU. Those that are selected for a mobility grant will be announced by the Erasmus Office and the list may be subjected to further updates.

According to the amount of students who are eligible and the budget the Erasmus Office has, it will be decided by the Erasmus Comission of BAU and officially announced on the website if students will be fully or partially granted.

Students are able to participate to the Erasmus program without receiving any grants if they wish.

Students who are selected for Erasmus+ Placement (Traineeship) Mobility will get monthly grants depending on the country they will go to. Total grant will be calculated according to the duration of the selected student’s official traineeship. Students will receive %70 of their total grant before their internship starts.When mobility is completed, passport entrance and exit dates and mobility certificate are examined and total grant is recalculated. Students coming earlier than planned days of mobility will be asked to pay back the relevant amount of grant provided- If the %30 does not cover the difference caused by early return. Moreover, if the student leaves the country of his/her Erasmus for a period of more than 7 days during the exchange, s/he will return the amount equal to whole period of travel carried out.In any case of mobility which lasts less than 2 months, the certificate of the student will be cancelled and student must pay back the %100 of the grant.

• NOTE:If students start their internships before academic year begins, since grants won’t be paid by the National Agency, there might be delay transferring the grants to students.
