SPOT Scholarship Amount
Recipients of any of the scholarships will receive €1,400 per month for up to 24 months (the full duration of the programme).

To support students with their initial travel and relocation costs, an initial payment of €3,700 may be provided upon arrival. As this amount includes part of the scholarship paid in advance, the monthly scholarship rate will be €1,300 from the second month onwards for the remainder of the 24-month study period.

These merit-based scholarships are awarded to high academic achievers. However, the consortium reserves the right to distribute fewer scholarships if applicants do not meet the required academic standards.


Special Provisions for SPOT Scholarship Holders
The following expenses will be fully reimbursed:

• Visa application fees
• Residence permit fees

The following fees will be waived:

• Participation fee (including tuition and insurance fees)
• Administrative fees

Important Notice
To ensure diversity within each student cohort, no more than two students from the same country may receive a scholarship in the same academic year. Please bear this in mind if your scholarship application is not accepted.

The SPOT Governing Board is responsible for the final selection of students and the distribution of scholarships. For further details, please refer to the Selection Procedure section.


Diversity and Inclusion Allowances
Additional funding is available for students with special needs or those requiring inclusive mobility support. This funding covers special accommodation, assistance during travel, adaptive learning materials, specialised equipment, or an accompanying person.
