Scholarships for European Mobility to Valencia
Verified national and regional scholarships that fund a semester or full year in Valencia. We pulled official 2026 amounts and rules for French, Belgian, Swiss and Quebecois students into one comparison set per region. Where the dossier could not confirm a 2026 figure, we say so openly.
European Union baseline
The European Commission sets Erasmus+ rules and broad travel-support bands. Monthly amounts are implemented by national agencies and by each sending institution's call year. The 'monthly amount' is the implemented figure at the representative sending university per Section 1 of the dossier; your exact rate depends on your home institution.
| Program | Eligible students | Amount | Deadline window | Where to apply | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Erasmus+ Student Mobility for Studies | All EU programme-country students | Set by sending institution; verified examples below | Set by home university, typically 6 to 9 months before departure | Home university's international office | [1] |
France-specific programs
For French students going to Valencia, the funding stack normally combines Erasmus+ with French national social aid (CROUS, AMI) and regional aid where available. Erasmus+ may include a 250 EUR per month inclusion top-up for students facing recognised social or geographic barriers [6]. The national portal explains ranges and cumulation rules but does not publish one single 2026 Spain amount.
| Program | Eligible students | Amount | Deadline window | Where to apply | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Erasmus+ via home institution | All French higher-ed students selected by home university | Set by sending institution; confirm at your BRI | Set by home institution | Service des relations internationales | [6] |
| Aide a la Mobilite Internationale (AMI) | Students receiving a CROUS social scholarship or annual allowance | 400 EUR per month for 2025/2026; stays of 1 to 10 consecutive months | Submitted via your home institution's international relations office | Home institution (not via Campus France) | [15] |
| Bourse Region Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes | Students enrolled in AURA institutions | 95 EUR per week base, plus social-criteria and disability supplements | Per regional call | auvergnerhonealpes.fr | [16] |
| B-Monde (Bretagne) | Students enrolled in Breton institutions, family-income criteria | Daily and travel components | Per regional call | bretagne.bzh | [17] |
| Mouv'Occitanie | Students enrolled in Occitanie institutions | Weekly support for eligible study and internship mobility | Per regional call | laregion.fr | [18] |
Belgium FR programs (Wallonia-Brussels Federation)
Belgium must be separated by community. For the French-speaking Community / Wallonia-Brussels, Erasmus+ is handled through AEF-Europe (education and training) and BIJ (youth and sport). ULB's 2025/2026 outgoing mobility page is the clearest FWB university implementation for Spain.
| Program | Eligible students | Amount | Deadline window | Where to apply | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Erasmus+ FWB (ULB implementation) | ULB students; representative FWB benchmark | 540 EUR per month standard; 790 EUR per month for fewer-opportunities students. One-time travel fee 309 EUR (500-1,999 km) plus 108 EUR green-travel bonus. | Set by home institution | ULB international office. Payment in two instalments: 70 percent after grant contract and OLS; balance after final attendance certificate. | [2] |
| WBI bourses (general) | FWB students, broader international mobility; mostly inbound or research-focused | Variable; not a standard outbound Erasmus+ supplement for Spain | Per call | wbi.be. Do not treat as a default Belgian outbound Spain grant. | [21] |
| ARES international training scholarships | Primarily candidates from partner countries studying in Belgium | Not an ordinary FWB outbound Erasmus+ supplement for Belgian students to Valencia | Per call | ares-ac.be. Do not present as a Belgian outbound Spain grant. | [23] |
Belgium NL programs (Flanders)
For Flanders, Erasmus+ education and training is handled by EPOS vzw; youth programmes by JINT [20]. The Flemish Higher Education Council's international platform, VLUHR-i, manages specific mobility operations, including the Flanders Traineeship Platform for Erasmus+ traineeships after graduation [24].
| Program | Eligible students | Amount | Deadline window | Where to apply | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPOS Erasmus+ (Flemish university implementation) | Flemish higher-ed students selected by home university | [VERIFY 2026]: confirm current EPOS or current Flemish university page; not in the dossier's verified figures | Set by home institution | Home Flemish university's international office | [20] |
| Erasmus+ traineeship after graduation (VLUHR-i) | Recent graduates, registered before graduation, traineeship within 12 months of graduation | Distance-based travel support using the seven Erasmus+ bands | Register before graduation | studentsonthemove.be | [24] |
Switzerland (SEMP, not Erasmus+)
Switzerland is not currently a full Erasmus+ programme country. The Swiss Programme for Erasmus+ (SEMP) is the federally funded national substitute, administered by Movetia [7]. Swiss students may call the exchange 'Erasmus' colloquially, but their grant contract and funding logic are Swiss SEMP, not Erasmus+. The Federal Council aims for possible Erasmus+ association from 2027.
| Program | Eligible students | Amount | Deadline window | Where to apply | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEMP (Swiss-European Mobility Programme) | Students at Swiss universities and HES on bilateral SEMP agreements | CHF 1,600 per semester (about CHF 400 per month over four months) per common public university guidance | Set by home institution | Home Swiss university international office; movetia.ch for programme info | [7] [25] |
Canada FR (Quebec) programs
Quebec students are not Erasmus+ participants by virtue of being Canadian. Valencia exchange normally depends on a bilateral agreement between the Quebec university and the Valencia host, plus Quebec or institutional mobility funding. The dossier found official and university descriptions of mobility support indicating monthly ranges of CAD 1,000 to CAD 2,500, often capped by duration and activity type; the exact amount must be confirmed with the Quebec home university.
| Program | Eligible students | Amount | Deadline window | Where to apply | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quebec university mobility support | Quebec students at participating Quebec universities | Approximately CAD 1,000 to CAD 2,500 per month, capped by duration and activity type. Confirm with your home university for the relevant academic year. | Per home-university call | Your Quebec home university's international office | [26] |
| OFQJ (Office franco-quebecois pour la jeunesse) | French-speaking youth and internship mobility (France-Quebec focus) | No direct OFQJ-to-Valencia scholarship verified. Treat as exploratory youth-mobility contact unless there is a specific programme call. | Per programme call | ofqj.org | [27] |
| AUF (Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie) | Francophone university networks; recent AUF-OFQJ cooperation focused on AUF Americas networks | Variable; not Valencia-specific | Per call | auf.org | [27] |
| Canada-Spain Youth Mobility Agreement (1993) | Canadians and Spaniards aged 18 to 35 | Work experience, internship, or cultural/language exposure visa category; not a scholarship | Per visa intake | Spanish consulate covering your home address | [28] |
Stacking strategy: how to combine sources
The realistic combinations the dossier supports: for France, the Erasmus+ home-institution grant plus AMI (400 EUR per month for CROUS scholarship holders, 1 to 10 consecutive months) where eligible, plus the relevant regional aid if your institution is in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, Bretagne or Occitanie. For Belgium FWB, the ULB-style Erasmus+ implementation (540 EUR per month standard, 790 EUR per month for fewer opportunities) plus the travel-band amount. For Switzerland, SEMP (CHF 1,600 per semester) plus any cantonal education-finance support that applies to your case. For Quebec, the home-university mobility grant where it exists, plus the OFQJ where a specific youth-mobility call is open. Always confirm cumulation rules with your home international office in writing before counting two sources.
What the dossier flags clearly: AMI is not made through Campus France; it goes through your home institution's international-relations office [15]. WBI, ARES and AGCID are not standard Belgian outbound Spain grants and should not be framed as such [4-section in dossier]. OFQJ is not a confirmed Valencia scholarship and should be treated as exploratory unless your specific programme call says otherwise. Each of these is a real source of confusion for first-time mobility students; we name them so you do not waste application time on the wrong door.
