We are glad to inform you that Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, is launching the new call for incoming students within the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility program (KA107).

Available scholarships are for 4 partner universities in LEBANON which include USJ and which means that a final selection process will take place.

According to the new Erasmus+ ICM rules, there will be flexibility in the level (Bachelor, Master and PhD) of the students eligible for scholarships. Therefore, students from one of the three levels can apply.

What does an Erasmus+ scholarship cover?

• For students (for a mobility of one semester): a monthly allowance of generally 800 or 850 euros per month AND a reimbursement of the flight ticket (up to a certain limit)
• For staff members (for a mobility of 5 working days + 2 travel days): A per diem of generally 140 or 160 euros per day AND a reimbursement of the flight ticket (up to a certain limit)
