Swiss-European Mobility Programme: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how students participating in European exchange programs can receive monthly grants to help cover living expenses while studying abroad.

The Swiss-European Mobility Programme is a support system designed to help students manage the financial challenges of studying in a different country.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically intended for students who are participating in exchange programs within Europe. It is designed to assist those who are moving away from their home institution to continue their studies at a partner institution in another European nation.

What you get

Participants are eligible to receive a monthly grant. This money is intended to help cover your living expenses while you are living abroad, helping to offset the costs associated with staying in a foreign country during your exchange period.

What it costs you

There is no direct application fee to participate in this programme. However, you must invest time and effort into the administrative process. You cannot apply for this support directly through a government office; instead, you must navigate the application process through your home university. This means you will need to coordinate with your institution's staff and follow their specific internal procedures and deadlines.

The catch to know

It is important to understand that the grant is not a single, fixed amount for every student. The specific amount of the monthly grant you receive varies based on the destination country where you will be studying. Because the cost of living differs significantly between different parts of Europe, the financial support is adjusted to reflect these regional differences.

How to apply

  1. Verify that your specific exchange program is recognized and eligible for support.
  2. Reach out to the international office or the relevant department at your home university.
  3. Complete the necessary documentation required by your university to facilitate the application.
  4. Follow the guidance provided by your university's coordinators regarding deadlines and submission.
