INCLUSION TOP-UP

Romanian-American University believes that an international exchange should be accessible to every student.

The Erasmus+ programme offers an inclusion top-up amount to students with fewer opportunities, who need extra financial support for a study exchange or traineeship due to specific circumstances. The Erasmus+ Top-Ups are supplementary grants which will be added to the regular Erasmus+ grant.

Which students are eligible for the Erasmus+ Inclusion Top-Up?

The following categories are eligible for the Erasmus+ Top-Up grant:

• Students who are an orphan of one or both parents;
• Students who come from a single-parent family (due to death, disappearance, imprisonment or non-recognition on the birth certificate);
• Students whose family did not achieve an average net monthly income per family member higher than the minimum net basic salary in the economy in the 12 months prior to the submission of the supporting documents;
• Students who fall into the category of “first student in the family“;
• Students with disabilities which includes physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments) or health problems (which includes serious illnesses, chronic illnesses or any other physical or mental health situation that prevents a person from participating in the program);
• Students of Roma ethnicity;
• Students with refugee status.

– The category list is not exhaustive; other situations may be considered based on supporting documents.

– Additional top-up support: 250 EUR/month;

Which criteria apply?

Students from the above-mentioned categories, willing to participate in an Erasmus+ study or traineeship mobility, are encouraged to contact the Erasmus+ Office (room 306, or [email protected] ) for more information and evaluation criteria. We assure you that the assessment process will take place in a meticulous and confidential manner.

The inclusion top-up will be granted in accordance with the provisions set up in the Order no. 3392/2017 of the Ministry of National Education, of February 27, 2017, regarding the establishment of general criteria for the award of scholarships and other forms of material support for students and trainees in public higher education.

GREEN TRAVEL TOP-UP

Romanian-American University encourages students to choose more environmentally sustainable means of transport when travelling to and from their Erasmus+ mobility.

The Erasmus+ programme provides additional financial support for participants who use low-emission means of transport, such as train, bus or car-sharing, for the main part of their journey to and from the mobility destination. This support is intended to contribute to the additional travel costs associated with green travel and, where applicable, to cover additional travel days.

The eligibility of the travel route and means of transport is assessed in accordance with the Erasmus+ programme rules and the documentation provided by the participant.

The amount of green travel support depends on the travel distance and the applicable Erasmus+ funding rules. For more information, please click here
