International mobility grant

Who is eligible for the grant for international mobility programs and what are the requirements?

All students participating in international mobility programs, specifically Exchange, CEMS-MIM, Themis, DD Essec and other Joint/Double Degree (durations between 2 and 12 months), will be considered for the grant provided the following conditions are met:

• Minimum duration: the minimum admissible period is 2 months (60 days) in the same study cicle
• Maximum duration: you can receive Erasmus grants for study and/or internships up to a maximum of 12 months per study cycle (three-year/ two-year/ law school). E.g., if you have done an Erasmus in the BSc (for study or internship), you can again be an Erasmus student in the MSc and in this case the counting of the number of months starts again from zero.
• Compliance with the assignment criteria described on the dedicated section below
• Modality: the contribution is calculated only for the days carried out in presence at the host institution. Virtual mobility does not involve contribution. If the modality is mixed and includes a virtual component, the contribution will be calculated only for activities carried out in presence.

The period of stay declared in the International mobility grant application must be:

• Continuative. Only the period actually spent at the host institution will be payable. In fact, the arrival and departure dates reported in the certificate issued by the partner university must reflect the period of actual stay in the student's study location.
• Related to study purposes

Bocconi University is committed to promoting inclusion through the support of students who, despite presenting situations of economic disadvantage, intend to have an international experience.

In defining the amount of the grants, the University must also refer to the guidelines set by each institution allocating international mobility funds.

In fact, the potential awarding of the grants is possible thanks to a mix of resources including Erasmus+ funds, ministerial funds and Bocconi University's own funds, within the limits of available resources and until they are depleted.

Since mobility funds are funds of public origin (Italy or EU), false certifications or inaccurate statements leading to the attribution of funds that are not due will be grounds for review, and, eventually, demand for repayment of what has been advanced and may be challenged in the appropriate instances for the return of illicitly collected funds.

The disbursement of the grant is not automatic, but is subsequent to the evaluations of the Office that consider:

1. Destination
2. Duration of the experience: detectable from the Mobility Agreement (priority) and the Certificates of Arrival and Departure.
   If the dates given in the Certificates of Arrival and Departure will define a shorter period than that agreed to in the Mobility Agreement, then necessarily the period considered will be the shorter, as indicated in the Certificates of Arrival and Departure. If, on the contrary, the dates given in the Certificates of Arrival and Departure define a longer period than that granted in the Mobility Agreement, then in any case what is granted in the Mobility Agreement will apply, and the excess period cannot be funded. This may result in the return of funds disbursed but not due. Therefore, students heading to destinations belonging to groups 1, 2 and 3 (except for UK) are advised to carefully check the dates given in the Mobility Agreement.
3. Economic condition of the student.  Specifically, among all participants in international programs (Exchange, CEMS-MIM, Themis, DD Essec, and other Joint/Double Degree), the " fewer opportunities" group is identified, in which students awarded in A.Y. 2023-2024 of the following benefits are included:

• ISU Bocconi Scholarship
• Una Scelta Possibile
• 1st Fees relief target
• "Need based" waivers from 60% to 100% on ordinary Bocconi contribution
• Exemptions for students with disabilities

Students belonging to the group so defined will receive a supplement (top-up equal to 250 euros monthly) in addition to the monthly amounts established by destination.

In addition, students with "fewer opportunities" heading to other destinations (group 4) may receive a contribution toward travel costs at the end of the experience, if funds are available.

For a.y. 2024-2025, students not in the category of minor opportunity will also be considered as described below.

By virtue of the capacity of the international Erasmus+ funding program received for the a.y. 2024-2025 and the guidelines provided for this fund, for this academic year, students not belonging to the fewer opportunities group in mobility to only destinations belonging to groups 1, 2 and 3 will also be considered for the allocation of available funds.

On the other hand, with reference to students with destinations within group 4, it is specified that, by virtue of the funds received to date, it will also be possible to support students who, while not belonging to the fewer opportunities group, are recipients of a need-based benefit (2nd or 3rd fees relief target on the ordinary contribution).

Students awarded the grant through Ministerial Funds are advised that they will receive the benefit only after the recognition of credits earned abroad. It will be the student's responsibility to make sure that such recognition takes place in the manner and within the time frame foreseen by the universities.

For students who will receive Erasmus+ Funds, it is specified that in the event that, as a result of verifications carried out by the University regarding the actual duration of the experience, the advance paid exceeds the amount actually due, the student will be asked to return the excess funds.

The disbursement will be made exclusively by bank transfer, to an Italian bank account in the name or joint name of the beneficiary student. For this reason, it is recommended to complete the online tax regime procedure available at the following page: https://regimefiscale.unibocconi.it.
