Region of Franche-Comté - Dynastage Grants

Dynastage grant

You will receive between 150 EUR and 2,280 EUR as a grant towards the costs of an internship abroad that forms part of your degree programme. The exact amount depends on the duration of the internship, your family’s income and the applicable rate. Students with a disability will receive an additional allowance of 150 EUR upon presentation of proof. The placement can last between 2 weeks and 6 months. It can be undertaken anywhere in the world, except on the French mainland and in the French overseas territories. The grant is awarded by the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Regional Council in France. You may combine it with an Erasmus+ grant, a university grant or a CROUS grant; however, the Dynastage amount will be reduced if you also receive Erasmus+.
