EU survey - a participant report sent to the student's JU email after the internship.

Payments

The scholarship is divided into two instalments:

1. payment: 70% of the entire scholarship at the beginning of the internship

2. payment: 30% of the entire scholarship after the internship.

Process

After the application, once we have reviewed the application you will receive an e-mail from JU's International Office if you have been granted the scholarship. Afterwards you need to do the following:

• fill out and sign your Grant Agreement
• fill out a Learning Agreement and gather the signatures of all three parties (yourself, responsible person for your internship at JU/your teacher, supervisor at the receiving organisation). JU's Erasmuscode is S JONKOPI01.
• upload the two documents here External link, opens in new window. (choose "outgoing exchange")

Once you have uploaded your Grant Agreement and Learning Agreement, Jönköping University will make the first payment (70% of the entire scholarship). Please note that it can take up to two weeks before the money has been transferred to your bank account.

After the internship, you need to do the following:

• upload your signed Traineeship Certificate
• submit the EU survey (it will automatically be sent to your JU email a couple of days after your internship ended)

Once you have uploaded your Traineeship Certificate, Jönköping University will make the second payment (30% of the entire scholarship).
Please note that it can take up to two weeks before the money has been transferred to your bank account.

Good to know: No second instalment will be made without a signed Learning Agreement and a signed Traineeship Certificate. All documents need to be completed asap after the internship (at most within one month after the internship ends) otherwise, you will be asked to refund the entire scholarship.
