Financial aid:
The Erasmus scholarship consists of a monthly financial aid (which varies according to the years), intended to cover the additional expenses involved in studying abroad such as travel expenses, language preparation or difference in the cost of the standard of living of the host country Therefore, these scholarships are not intended to cover all the expenses of students during the period of study abroad. European aid depends on the country of destination and the funds available Erasmus scholarships are compatible with any other additional aid (Junta de Castilla y León, Banco Santander, etc.) unless otherwise indicated The academic fees derived from the registration will be paid at the University of Salamanca, but students will be exempt from them at the foreign host institution Incompatibilities: Students who travel throughout the course will continue to receive all of their scholarships or student aid granted by the National State or other sources to which they are normally entitled, except in the case of Collaboration and Research Scholarships.
