Selection Criteria

The evaluation criteria and weighted scores used in assessing mobility applications are as follows:

¹ In addition to war veterans and their spouses and children, and the spouses and children of war martyrs, priority is given, if they apply for Erasmus+ student mobility, to the spouses and children of "public officials who, while performing their duties at home or abroad, or because of their performance of those duties even after their status has ended, have been injured, disabled, died or been killed as a result of acts of terrorism" pursuant to Article 21 of the Anti-Terror Law No. 3713 dated 12/4/1991, as well as, pursuant to Article 7 of Decree-Law No. 667 dated 23 July 2016, to the spouses and children of those who lost their lives due to the coup attempt and terrorist act carried out on 15 July 2016 and acts that were a continuation thereof, or to civilians who were disabled and their spouses and children.

² For prioritisation, the student must submit a letter from the Ministry of Family and Social Policies certifying that a protection, care or shelter decision has been issued in their favour pursuant to Law No. 2828.

³ This is applied only once. If the student takes part in the mobility, it is not applied to their subsequent applications. If the student does not take part in the mobility, the additional points continue to be applied to their subsequent applications as well.

⁴ The "-10 points" applied in the case of previous participation does not apply to mobilities carried out at a previous study cycle or to mobilities other than higher education student/traineeship mobility. It applies when a student who has already carried out a mobility applies again within the same study cycle.

Additional Grant Support in Student Mobility

2. Students for whom a protection, care or shelter decision has been issued under the Child Protection Law No. 5395
3. Those receiving an orphan's/survivor's pension
4. Spouses and children of martyrs/veterans and veterans themselves¹

6. Persons with disabilities²
7. Those one of whose parents or whose guardian receives a disability or destitution allowance under Law No. 2022 dated 01.07.1976 on the Granting of Allowances to Turkish Citizens Over the Age of 65 Who Are in Need, Infirm or Without Relatives and to Turkish Citizens with Disabilities and in Need³
