Funding for internship abroad

For internships within Europe, the Erasmus scholarship may cover additional expenses such as travel to and from the study destination. For internships outside Europe, there are other scholarships available. In many cases, the company that hosts the internship can offer compensation.

Study finance from CSN

As you do not earn any credits during your internship, you cannot receive regular study funds from CSN during the internship period. However, if you can credit your internship towards your studies, for example in your degree project, you can receive CSN as for regular studies.

Funding via Erasmus+

Compensation from clients

If you do your internship at a company, they might compensate you for your work. It is possible to receive compensation even if granted the Erasmus + scholarship. Remember, however, that you can be required to repay student aid if your annual income becomes too high. For more information visit CSN's website, csn.se .
