Inclusion
Participants with fewer opportunities:
Trainees belonging to one of the following target groups can apply for a top-up of 250€ per month (lump sum) in addition to the normal grant:
- Trainee with child(ren)
- Trainee with disability
- Trainee with chronic illness causing additional costs
- Trainee with non-academic family background
- Employed trainee
However, the different top-ups cannot be combined. I.e., working parents with child(ren) and non-academic family background can only receive 250 € (instead of 750 €), for instance.
In order to apply for the top-up, please submit the Honorary Declaration for Additional Funding.
Attention: You will only be able to receive a top-up if you hand in the documents for the top-up in time (min. one month before start of internship) and together with the other application documents, .
TeilnehmerInnen mit Behinderung oder chronischer Erkrankung sowie TeilnehmerInnen mit Kindern können zusätzlich über einen (aufwändigen!) Langantrag die tatsächlichen zusätzlichen Realkosten beantragen. Diese müssen einzeln aufgelistet und anschließend belegt werden. Der Antrag muss spätestens 2 Monate vor Praktikumsbeginn gestellt werden. Die Förderung über Aufstockungsbetrag und Realkosten ist kombinierbar, sofern zwei unterschiedliche Merkmale für den Erhalt des Aufstockungsbetrages (z.B. Erwerbstätigkeit) und den Erhalt der Realkosten (z.B. Schwerbehinderung) vorliegen.
Trainees with child(ren), Trainees with disability and Trainees with chronic illness: If particularly high additional costs arise for your stay abroad, a so-called "real cost application" can be submitted. For this, it is necessary to provide a detailed list with all items expected to cause additional costs. Combining this funding and a top-up is possible if the reason of the top-up (e.g. non-academic family background) and the "real cost application" (e.g. trainee with child) are different. The application has to be submitted with at least three months´ advance notice.
