  • Students with fewer opportunities will receive an additional 250 €/month
  • Staff doing short-term physical mobilities will receive 180 €/day + 360 € for the travel

A participant with fewer opportunities is a person who faces obstacles that prevent effective access to the opportunities offered by the program for economic, social, cultural, geographic or health reasons, due to their immigrant origin, for reasons such as disability and learning difficulties or for any other reason, including those that may give rise to discrimination in accordance with the provisions of article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

In mobilities from Spain to countries not associated to the Program, students with fewer opportunities are defined by the Spanish National Agency as those who are in any of the following situations, not being cumulative with each other:

a) Have been a beneficiary of a general study grant from the Spanish National Administration to carry out university studies and other higher studies or of a scholarship from the Department of Education of the Basque Country, or a scholarship for schooling of non-university level students granted by the Department of Education of the Basque Country in the academic year immediately prior to the one in which the mobility is to take place, or in the academic year in which the mobility is carried out

b) Have refugee status or have the right to subsidiary protection or have presented
application for international protection in Spain.

c) Have a legally recognized and qualified disability of a degree equal to or greater than 33 percent, or an equivalent degree of disability, in the case of foreign students.

d) Any other situation that may be included in the framework of the SEPIE strategy for inclusion, pending approval.

Students traveling to Spain from any country not associated to the Program (incoming mobilities) that are in situations equivalent to those enumerated in the above section, once the equivalence is verified by the National Agency, will be considered as participants with fewer opportunities.
