Financial support

Students applying for an internship within the EU may be eligible to apply for an Erasmus Internship Grant. This grant is provided by the European Union in order to encourage European Union students to gain international experience. If you have already received an Erasmus grant for studying abroad, you will still be eligible for an Erasmus Grant for Internships. For the Academic Year 2011-2012, the level of the Erasmus (internship) grant is ¤220 per month. If you meet the below criteria, you may be eligible to apply for an Erasmus Grant.

Application criteria for an Erasmus Grant:

  • You are a national of one of the countries participating in the Erasmus program;
  • You are registered as a full-time student at Tilburg University;
  • You have successfully completed your first year of studies;
  • You have not received an Erasmus internship or a Leonardo grant before;
  • The internship lasts a minimum of three months;
  • Your internship enterprise or institution is 'admissible' (see procedure);
  • You are not in receipt of any other European Union grant or subsidy;
  • Your internship forms part of your program of study at Tilburg University, and you receive ECTS credits for it;
  • Your faculty contact person has agreed to your application.

Erasmus Grant application form:
If you want to apply for an Erasmus Grant, please read the application procedure carefully, download the application form and hand it in – along with all relevant documents – to your school coordinator's office.

At the School of Economics and Management students will not receive ECTS credits for an internship and can therefore not apply for the Erasmus Internship Grant.

Because your internship is based on an individual choice, no specific deadlines apply. You can apply for internships at any time. Please keep in mind that you should start planning and preparing for your internship approximately three months before the start date.
