• To receive the NTNU grant, you must have arrived at the host institution abroad and uploaded a signed confirmation of arrival (signed by the host institution) in Mobility-Online by:
  • 15 September (autumn semester departure)
  • 1 April (spring semester departure)
    • If your stay starts after 1 April, you must upload the confirmation of arrival by 24 April. You must also notify utveksling@aud.ntnu.no by 1 April.
• Erasmus+ students must also complete all steps under “During the mobility – Grants” in Mobility-Online by:
  • 1 December (autumn semester)
  • 1 June (spring semester)
• The confirmation of arrival must be signed and uploaded after you have started your stay. If uploaded before, it will be deleted.

If these steps are not completed by the deadlines, we will not be able to award the full grant for your stay.

Grants are paid twice a month, on the dates marked as bonus salary on this page. Payouts are processed by the Payroll and HR Services Centre. Note that it usually takes up to 8 weeks from uploading the confirmation of arrival until the money is in your account.

The NTNU grant is a fixed amount paid as a one-time payment. The size of the grant depends on the number of applicants and NTNU's allocated budget for the year. Students awarded the NTNU grant will be informed of the amount by email.

The Erasmus+ grant amount depends on your destination country. See table under 'Erasmus+ grant' here. The final grant amount is based on the exact start and end dates of your stay:

• Start date: The first day of orientation/welcome week at the host institution or official semester start. Language courses do not count.
• End date: The last day you are physically present for academic activities (teaching or assessment).

The Erasmus+ grant is paid in two parts:

• First payout: 70% of the grant is paid after you arrive at the host institution abroad. You must complete the steps under Before the mobility – Grants in the application portal and upload a signed confirmation of arrival.
• Final payout: After the exchange, upload your confirmation of departure under After the mobility in the portal. The total grant will be recalculated, and the remainder paid out.

• The grant is awarded subject to sufficient funding from the European Commission and/or Norwegian authorities.
• The grant may be reduced if you receive other external grants (does not apply to Lånekassen support).
• The grant will be withdrawn if you apply for a leave of absence from NTNU during the exchange, or if you pursue a full degree abroad.
• If you cancel or shorten your exchange, you may have to repay part of the grant.
• You must repay the grant if you do not submit your experience report.
