Scholarships
Exchange students can apply for a scholarship if they will study abroad with the Erasmus+ programme.
Scholarship is designed to cover additional costs related to the exchange. It might not cover all costs related to studying abroad, thus self-financing might be necessary. As with students who study in Estonia, the exchange student is entitled to receive state scholarships, study subsidies and loans for the whole study period.
The student can apply for an additional subsidy from state and private funds for the period of his or her studies abroad. However, during the period abroad the Erasmus+ student cannot use any other scholarships provided by the official structures of the European Union.

The Erasmus+ mobility-related areas, for which additional support can be applied on the basis of individual needs, include (but are not limited to) the following: customized accommodation, travel assistance, medical assistance, support equipment, adaptation of study material, support person, etc. This additional support grant is a contribution based on real costs.
