"As an Iranian student, studying in Finland, and due to my interest in German, I wished to experience living and studying in a German speaking country. There was a great opportunity there: the Erasmus Exchange program which I applied for. But I was worried about my expenses. I found the chance to get some financial help through The Student Grants program. Now I feel so lucky that I actually won the grant - and even as the first ever winner of the Student Grants program! Now I can go to Germany and study confidently and without worrying. Awesome, huh?

We thank you for all your applications and the interest in the CasaSwap Student Grants program. This only proves the fact that students going abroad are in need of funding. In the future, we will try to increase the size of the grants and we will also try to increase the frequency and the number of grants in order to help more students. We encourage all applicants to reapply for the next round of Student Grants (of course, applicants still have to be eligible for a Student Grant = you have to be going abroad to study, teach, research, on an internship, etc.) which takes place on 1 April 2012. You can apply right here
Please help us spread the word about the Student Grants program: tell your university and the international office about the CasaSwap Student Grants program!
Kind regards,
The CasaSwap Student Grants team
