The City Council launches the second call for grants for Erasmus students in Benidorm

The Department of Education of Benidorm City Council has launched for the 2023/2024 academic year the second call for municipal grants for students who participate in European mobility programs such as Erasmus +, as reported today by the councillor of the department, Maite Moreno.

Moreno explained that "with this help, we want to collaborate with university students and Higher Education Training Cycles in Benidorm who, within their training, adhere to this type of program to carry out part of their training in other countries; an option that also allows them to live the experience of residing outside of Spain and complement their curricular activity with the learning or improvement of a foreign language”.

This is an aid of 100 euros for each month of stay abroad with a maximum period of 9 months, which is the duration of the entire academic year. Likewise, the councilor has stressed that "this municipal aid is fully compatible with others that the student may receive from any public administration or private entity to facilitate their stay during the program."

In short, "it is about contributing our grain of sand so that Benidorm students have more facilities and financial resources during the months they spend studying abroad."
Moreno has indicated that "the bases that regulate these grants establish that the payment to the beneficiaries will be unique and annual once the stay at the destination university for the indicated period of time has been verified." People registered in Benidorm with an uninterrupted seniority of one year who prove they have been selected to participate in an international mobility program in the 2023/2024 academic year will be eligible for these aids.

To facilitate the application and obtaining this aid "there will be two presentation shifts". The first runs from June 26 to July 14. As for the second shift, it will be from November 27 to December 12 and applicants for second-shift Erasmus + scholarships will be able to participate in it, as well as those students who the first shift did not know or did not have their status as scholarship holders of the program.
