Erasmus+ ICM grant
Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (ICM) is a grant programme that enables you to study in a selection of countries outside the EU.
As an Erasmus+ ICM grant student you will study at one of Uppsala University's partner universities within Erasmus+ ICM on the same conditions as domestic students, but without having to pay any tuition fee. You will also receive the Erasmus+ ICM grant from the European Commission.
If you have been accepted for an exchange for which you are eligible for an Erasmus+ ICM grant, we will contact you

Additional grant funds for fewer opportunities
Uppsala University has been allocated extra funds for participants applying for the Erasmus+ ICM grant with a background categorised as "fewer opportunities." The number of grants available for this purpose is limited.
Fewer opportunities includes disabilities, health problems, barriers linked to education and training systems, cultural differences, social and economic barriers, barriers linked to discrimination, as well as geographical barriers.
Please indicate in your grant application for the Erasmus+ ICM grant that you also wish to apply for these funds.
