The scholarship only serves to carry out the study or research project at the institution described in the scholarship award. It is not allowed to change the project or the institution. In specific well-justified cases a change is possible but only if the Programme Officer, your academic supervisor and the financers of the scholarship agree. You have already received the general guidelines with your letter of award. Here you can find the general guidelines again.
Amount of the scholarship
The exact scholarship amount you will find on your scholarship award. It is not possible to raise the amount of the scholarship. You have to pay your accommodation, your insurance fee and study fees (if any) from your monthly scholarship instalments.
Travel costs
You will not receive any travel costs compensation in addition to your scholarship unless this is expressively mentioned in your scholarship award. If your scholarship includes travel costs compensation, you have to submit your original travel documents to your responsible Regional Office after your arrival in Austria. If you do not submit these documents, you will not receive a travel costs subsidy. Information on travel expenses can be found in your letter of award.
If you get a travel allowance you don’t have to submit the travel documents.
