Continued Payment of the Educational Grant / Wage

Pursuant to the Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education", the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the Procedure for Exercising the Academic Mobility Right providing for the preservation of studying seat and continued payment of the educational grant.

The educational grant continues to be paid in full unless the academic mobility programme provides for a grant to cover the study.

"11. For higher education degree-seeking students, for the period of their learning in another educational (research) institution being a partner in or outside Ukraine, the studying seat and the educational grant shall be preserved and continue to be paid in accordance with the laws for the period of learning, internship or research in another educational (research) institution being a partner in or outside Ukraine if no educational grant is provided for in accordance with the terms of academic mobility."

In which case will the educational grant continue to be paid to the student participating in an academic mobility programme?

• If the student receives no funds under the mobility programme (all types of academic mobility);
• If the student receives partial funding (e.g., the programme covers the lodging (or a dormitory is provided) and funds for daily expenses and meals are not included in the programme);
• If the student is unable to attend the sufficient number of courses in a foreign HEI under the mobility programme (credit mobility) that will be recognized by the domestic HEI and, therefore, he/she performs, in addition, his/her individual educational plan in the domestic HEI (it is required that the training programme in a foreign HEI is agreed with the head of studies (department, dean's office) at the domestic HEI).
