• The federal study grant can be obtained for the duration of the Erasmus+ internship if the student is fully admitted to studies and examinations in Austria. However, there is no entitlement to the federal grant for studies abroad (BAS = Beihilfe für ein Auslandsstudium).

The application must be submitted during your studies and always before the date of your last academic achievement. If you are applying for an internship grant, you must specify what type of internship you are applying for:

Step 1: Submission of documents four weeks before the start of the internship

The application documents listed below must be submitted to us collectively by application form at least four weeks before the start of the internship.

• Learning Agreement for Traineeships must be completed and signed by the student and host institution.

• Curriculum vitae

• Letter of motivation (relevance of the internship for the studies, presentation of the motivation for the tasks of the internship, etc.)

• Current transcript of records (only for student internship)

• Current confirmation of studies

Step 2: Signing of the grant agreement

• Your documents will be reviewed. You will be notified about the outcome of your application by e-mail, in which we will send you the signed Learning Agreement and the grant agreement. The grant agreement must be signed and returned to us via email.

• You are responsible for keeping the grant agreement together with the Learning Agreement.

• Students are required to take a language test for the working language before their stay (exception: native speakers). This test is administered by the EU Academy. You will receive further information via email.

• You will receive the first grant installment after the language test has been completed. Native speakers will receive their first installment within the first month of their internship.

Non-EU countries

• Additional travel and/or health insurance is recommended. For insurance policies issued in Austria, it’s a good idea to take an English translation with you to demonstrate what is covered by your policy.

EU countries

• If you are a citizen of an EU member state, the health insurance provided by your home country is usually sufficient. Don’t forget to take your European insurance card (e-card) with you when you go abroad! If you are not an EU citizen, be sure to arrange for the necessary insurance coverage well in advance.

Accident and liability insurance is optional but recommended. The Students’ Union (ÖH) insurance includes accident and liability insurance in the host country. Please inform yourself accordingly, for example here.

• An extension is possible. The corresponding application must be received by the International Office by email at least four weeks before the end of the original period. The extension period must follow immediately and have duration of at least 15 days.

• The "Confirmation of Stay" must be signed by the organization/company during the last week of the stay. This is necessary for the application of the remaining installment.

Payment of the remaining grant installment must be requested here within 30 days after the end of the stay (as per the Grant Agreement).

Before you apply for the payment, make sure that ...

• the EU Survey has been completed (after the end of your internship, you will receive the link to the survey via your WU email address. You must then complete it within 30 days).

• the "Confirmation of Stay" has been received by the IO.

• the "After the mobility" part of the Learning Agreement has been completed and signed by the host institution.
