Welcome in Europe Welcome in Europe! - Uni Trier
Duration and Conditions of the grant:

➢ Maximum: 12 months per study cycle (including zero grant periods)
➢ Online studies from outside the host country will not be supported financially (=> zero grant)
➢ One month equals 30 days
➢ Quarantine periods and preparatory language courses in the host country as well as orientation
  programmes at the host university can be included in the funding period. In contrast, travel days,
  and other periods of stay for personal purposes do not qualify for funding (i.e. the amount of
  the grant will be based on the „academically relevant“ period only).
➢ If you want to extend your funding period, you have to apply for the extension of the grant one
  month before your current grant agreement ends at the very latest. The extension will depend
  the on availability of funds.
➢ The final amount of your grant will depend on your actual study period as confirmed by your
  host university at the end of your stay, which means the total amount of the grant will be
  reduced if your actual study period is shorter than the one originally indicated in the grant
  ageement.
➢ Periods of study confirmed by your host university that are not covered by your grant agreement
  cannot be funded and will be considered zero grant periods
