1. Important information before you register

Regarding Target Groups
  • The following are not eligible for funding through KOOR – Erasmus Services BW: exchange students who are studying at a consortium partner university for one or two semesters.
  • Students enrolled in double-degree programmes are eligible for funding only if they meet specific requierements. More information can be found here.
  • Graduates must have submitted an Intention to Apply before deregistration or completion of their studies, or must have applied to KOOR before completing their studies. More information can be found here.
Regarding Eligibility for Funding
  • Neither scholarships nor Erasmus+ funding are guaranteed. Erasmus+ funding can only be awarded subject to the availability of funds; there is no legal entitlement to Erasmus+ funding in general or to funding in a specific project year. Nevertheless, we encourage you to apply. Please also plan for alternative sources of funding and, where possible, structure your financing around several different sources.

Regarding Your Application
  • Internship: KOOR does not arrange internships. Before registering for Erasmus+ funding, you must therefore already have at least an informal confirmation of your internship placement.
  • Application Round: Before completing the initial registration, check whether your planned internship start date falls within the current application round.
  • Application Deadline: Check whether you can meet the application deadline. Your complete and signed application documents must be submitted at least two weeks before the start of your internship. For internships at schools and universities, including university hospitals and university research institutions, the shorter deadline of one week applies. Please note: The relevant date is the upload date of the complete, signed application documents, not the date of registration.

Important to know: What Erasmus+ Funding does not cover

Erasmus+ funding is a contribution towards the costs of your internship abroad – not full financial coverage. To plan your finances realistically, please keep the following in mind:

  • The funding does not automatically cover all costs. Travel, accommodation and living expenses can be significantly higher than the Erasmus+ grant, depending on your destination. Make sure to plan for sufficient personal funds.
  • Funding is not guaranteed. Erasmus+ funding can only be awarded subject to the availability of funds. There is no legal entitlement to funding or to a specific grant amount.
  • The grant does not replace an internship salary. If your internship is unpaid or offers only limited remuneration, you may need additional sources of funding.
  • Not every internship duration or period can necessarily be funded in full. The eligible funding period may differ from the actual duration of your internship. Please check the current funding conditions before your internship begins.
  • Erasmus+ funding comes with formal requirements. Certain agreements, supporting documents and deadlines must be complied with.
  • Changes during your internship need to be reported and approved. Ending your internship early or deviating from the agreed period may affect your funding. Under certain circumstances, part of the grant already paid may have to be repaid.
  • Other sources of funding cannot always be combined without restrictions. Therefore, check early whether and how Erasmus+ funding can be combined with BAföG, PROMOS or other scholarships.

Our recommendation: Where possible, structure your financing around several different sources. In addition to Erasmus+, these may include internship remuneration, international BAföG, other scholarships, public funding or personal savings.
