Participants with fewer opportunities

Erasmus+ aims to be inclusive and accessible and provides additional funding to support those with disabilities and special educational needs. Full-time LCC International University students can apply to receive additional mobility grants under the following definitions after they have been selected for a mobility period (documents confirming the status must be submitted): 

• Disabilities – include physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments which, in interaction with various barriers, may hinder someone’s full and effective participation in society on the same footing as others.  
• Health problems – barriers may result from health issues including severe illnesses, chronic diseases, or any other physical or mental health-related situation that prevents from participating in the programs. 
• Social barriers – an orphan or having lived or currently living in institutional care; children of single parent. 
• Economic barriers – students from low-income families (who are under 25 years old and who have been granted 80% or more of the financial aid from LCC International University for the upcoming academic year); learners who need to work to support themselves (have worked for at least 6 months in the last 12 months); dependence on the social welfare system; students who are parents themselves. 
• Cultural barriers – an immigrant or refugee background. 

Additional flat-rate individual grant for students with fewer opportunities participating in Erasmus + mobility is: 

• in case of long-term mobility – 250.00 EUR per month; 
•  in case of short-term mobility – 100.00 EUR (when the duration of mobility is 5–14 days); 150.00 Eur (when the duration of mobility is 15-30 days)

Approval of additional grants depends on available funding for that year.

Sustainable traveling

Students who travel to their destination using a sustainable mode of transportation (with low CO2 emissions) may receive a one-time payment of 50 EUR and a maximum of 4 extra grant days to compensate for the extra travel time. Examples of sustainable transportation methods are: cycling, carpooling, the bus, or the train; for the majority of both the outward journey and the return trip. Top-Ups are only available for study exchanges or traineeships within Europe.                    

To receive the Top-Up student must : 

• (In case this applies) save all tickets/proof of travel and submit them to the CIE office (digitally); 
•  After the return, fill out and sign a declaration of honor form in which a student describes how and when he/she traveled. 

NOTE: Students can also participate in the Erasmus+ program without a grant.  

Selected students

During the semester

Changing classes

• Semester days 1-7: 100% refund, no academic penalty 
• Semester days 8-21: 50% refund, no academic penalty 
• Semester days 22-35: 25% refund, no academic penalty 
• Semester day 36 and later: 0% refund (withdrawn-fail)
