  • A student is defined as eligible non-resident if they reside in a municipality other than the one where the course of study is held, which cannot be reached by public transport within 60 minutes, and rent accommodation for consideration in the municipality where the course is held, for a period of not less than ten months. The distance is evaluated by some bodies based on kilometers, by others based on travel time by public transport.

  • The mobility grant is a monetary supplement to the scholarship for students participating in international mobility programs, the amount of which depends on the number of months on mobility.

  • The expenditure for measures supporting students with disabilities is not necessarily related to individual monetary grants, but in some regions includes collective measures (e.g. agreements for transport services).

    • n

  • The number of transport allowances sometimes refers to the number of students who benefited from them, other times to the number of allowances provided (e.g. the number of discounted passes), so the same student may have benefited multiple times.
