Bursary Regulations.

selected European countries with particularly high living costs.
(2) The scholarship programme is hereby announced for an indefinite period from the
entry into effect of this measure.

specified in Section 4 of the Directive. For study periods in other target countries,
no compensation scholarship is awarded.

into groups and has the following maximum sums:

(1) The application deadline for the autumn semester is 15 September, and the
deadline for the spring semester is 15 March.

student ID number, country of destination, name of the partner university, date of
the start of the study period, date of the expected return, and the student’s
