Travel grants for students studying abroad or on placements (England)
Eligibility
Your permanent home address must be in England.
If you’re on a study or work placement abroad
You must attend an overseas institution for at least half of each academic term. This period of study can be compulsory or optional.
You can also get a travel grant if you’re on:
- an Erasmus study or work placement
- a Turing Scheme study or work placement
- a Taith study or work placement
Other work placements do not count.
You cannot apply for grants to cover the same expenses more than once.
If you’re doing a clinical placement in the UK
The placement must be an essential part of your medical or dental course. You will not get a travel grant if you’re eligible for means-tested bursaries or awards from the Department of Health.
You can apply if you get student finance that depends on your household income, for example a Maintenance Loan or Maintenance Grant.
