Application for overseas work mobility grant

Grant and scholarship support may be available for current students and recent graduates* for overseas work mobilities that last up to 12 months and are linked to your degree.

The grants are to support the worldwide mobility of participants and vary according to the country of your mobility and your personal circumstances.

Grants will be awarded according to need with priority being given to those that most need the support.
