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. This financial support covers the additional costs incurred by students with disabilities with fewer economic resources. The grant will cover 100% of the costs related to their disability, such as specialized or adapted transportation, accompanying persons, professional services, preparatory visits, and other duly justified specific expenses.
Applicants must have a recognized degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, in addition to meeting the other criteria outlined in the program.
There are two options: applying to SEPIE for additional funding (available until November 15, 2022) or requesting a budget transfer (available until October 30, 2023).
Further information is available on the SEPIE website at the following link: http://www.sepie.es/inclusion.html, or by consulting the application guide: http://www.sepie.es/doc/educacion-superior/documentos/guia_solicitud_apoyo_inclusion.pdf
Finally, applications can be formalized by downloading the form from the “grants-templates” section at the following link: https://sepie.erasmusplus.gob.es/ulises/. The form must then be completed, signed using a valid digital signature, and submitted as a general request to SEPIE's electronic registry.
