Radboud University believes it is important that an international exchange is accessible to every student. This is why we offer the Erasmus+ Inclusion top-up. This is a financial support for students who need it for their study or internship exchange due to special circumstances. There is also the Erasmus+ Green Travel top-up.
Please note: The amounts and conditions listed in this document and on this webpage are confirmed and apply to the academic year 2025–2026. These amounts and conditions may change for future academic years.
Please note: The deadline for the top-up is the same as the deadline for the regular Erasmus+ grant application. You apply for both the regular grant and the top-up at the same time, via Osiris.

Conditions
Erasmus+ Inclusion top-up
The following students are eligible for an inclusion top-up:
- students with a physical or mental disability that hinders your study or international mobility. The student dean must verify this.
- students who receive a supplementary grant from DUO (or equivalent from another country) or have received one in recent years, because they come from a family with a lower income.
Once you apply for the top-up, you must declare that you meet the requirements to top-up. The assessment process that follows takes place in a careful and confidential manner.
Erasmus+ Green Travel top-up
We would like to reward students who travel to their destination using a sustainable form of transport (with low CO2 emissions). The travel allowance you receive if you travel in a sustainable manner is higher than the standard travel allowance. Examples of sustainable forms of transport are: bicycle, bus or train. To be eligible for the top-up, you must have travelled most of both the outward and return journey to and from the destination country in a sustainable manner.
To receive this top-up, you need to take the following steps:
- Save (if applicable) all tickets of your transport and submit them (digitally) to us;
- Complete and sign the Declaration Green Travel top-up form. On the form, describe how and when you travelled. You can find this form in Osiris.
Amount of scholarship
The Erasmus+ top-ups are additional scholarships on top of the normal Erasmus+ scholarship. The Inclusion top-up is €250 per month, or €8.33 per day. The exact Green Travel top-up amount depends on the distance to your destination. For the detailed amounts of the grants please check the document at the bottom of this page.
How to apply
- If you wish to go abroad with an Erasmus+ scholarship for studies or for an internship, you should first register at the International Office of your faculty.
- Shortly after you have been selected for the scholarship by your faculty, you will automatically receive an email requesting you to start your Erasmus+ scholarship application in Osiris. You will receive this email between mid-May and mid-June.
- In Osiris, you can indicate whether you want to be considered for the Inclusion top-up or the Green Travel top-up.
- If you are applying for the top-up due to financial reasons, please submit the completed application form, including the DUO supplementary grant declaration, via Osiris. You will then be notified whether your application for the top-up has been approved or not.
If you are applying for the top-up due to a physical or mental disability, please send the completed application form, including a doctor's statement and a personal explanatory note on the disability, to studentendecanen [at] ru.nl (studentendecanen[at]ru[dot]nl) for approval. In some cases, a doctor's statement is not available and a personal explanation of the disability is sufficient. Once the student deans have signed the form, you submit the form yourself via Osiris. The application for the Inclusion top-up is then complete.
