On November 16, the Spanish Service for the Internationalization of Education (SEPIE), under the Ministry of Universities, published the new call for “inclusion support” grants for students with disabilities participating in the Erasmus+ program. These grants provide financial assistance to cover the additional costs incurred by students with disabilities who have limited financial resources. This grant will cover 100% of the costs related to their disability, such as special or adapted transportation, companions, professional services, preparatory visits, and other specific, duly documented expenses.
Applicants must have a recognized disability rating of 33% or higher, as well as meet other criteria outlined in the program.
There are two options: request additional funding from SEPIE (available through November 15, 2022) or make a budget transfer (available through October 30, 2023).
You can find more information on the SEPIE website at the following link: http://www.sepie.es/inclusion.html, or by viewing the application guide: http://www.sepie.es/doc/educacion-superior/documentos/guia_solicitud_apoyo_inclusion.pdf
Finally, you can complete your registration by downloading the form from the “Grants-Templates” section at the following link: https://sepie.erasmusplus.gob.es/ulises/. You must then fill out the form, sign it with a valid electronic signature, and submit it via a generic application form to the SEPIE’s electronic registry.
