Land Vorarlberg - Vorarlberg scholarship

Benefit

You will receive up to 350 EUR per month for a short study or research stay abroad lasting from 1 to 4 months. The province of Vorarlberg pays this amount as a one-off grant via its Office for Science and Further Education. You may spend your stay at a university or university of applied sciences abroad. A recognised research centre, a library, an archive, a museum, a hospital or the research and development department of a company are also eligible.

Eligibility

• Study progress: You are studying at a university, a university college or a university of applied sciences and have completed at least the first year of your first degree programme.
• State student aid: You must be in receipt of an Austrian student grant (the means-tested grant provided by the Austrian government).
• Nationality: You are a national of Austria or another EU or EEA country.
• Link to Vorarlberg: At the time of submitting your application, you must have lived in Vorarlberg continuously for at least 3 years, either as your main or secondary residence.
• Field of study: All subjects can apply.
• If you already study abroad: If you are completing your entire degree programme at a foreign higher education institution, your short stay must take place in a third country, i.e. neither in Austria nor in the country where you are studying.

How to apply

Please apply for this via the State of Vorarlberg’s online form before your stay abroad begins. After your return, you have 8 weeks to submit a breakdown of your expenses.
