As a French student, you are entitled to funding to study abroad or do a work placement with a company.
In this article, we’d like to help you with the administrative formalities involved in doing an internship in Spain.
We’ll give you information on some of the grants and other funding available if you’re planning to do an internship in Spain.
There is a wide range of assistance available for students wishing to undertake international mobility, so it’s important to get involved quickly and obtain information from the right organizations.
Spain is the number one university destination for French students wishing to spend a full year at a university abroad, or do an internship in the corporate world.
Moving to a foreign country, even if it’s part of the European Union, is not something to be taken lightly, and as with any university project, you need to do a minimum of preparation.
As we explained in the introduction, there are many public and private organizations offering scholarships and internships for French students in Spain.
The international mobility grant is also known as a regional grant, as it is awarded by the region to which the student’s home university belongs.
To obtain a mobility grant for an internship in Spain, French students must send an application to their university’s international relations department.
The head of the school will then decide whether or not to award the student a scholarship. Financial aid averages 400 euros a month, and can be combined with other grants.
The allowance is paid for between 2 and 9 months.
The merit-based grant is determined by the student’s social situation and academic results.
Only students with excellent results can benefit from this aid, which is also issued by the head of the school.
The amount of this grant is determined by the French region to which the student belongs.
The Erasmus program is an organization founded and supported by the European Union Commission, which offers higher education students the opportunity to carry out an internship in another European country.
For an internship in Spain, students can count on the administrative, logistical and financial support of the Erasmus program.
In addition, the Erasmus program develops cooperation between universities and companies in all European Union countries. This is a great opportunity for French students, who can obtain an internship grant and benefit from a professional network.
Application for an Erasmus grant for an internship in Spain is open to all students in higher education. To register for the program, you need to send in an application form and explain your professional project.
The Erasmus internship grant is awarded for the duration of the internship, and amounts to between 400 and 450 euros per month.
It’s quite possible to get a grant for your internship in Spain, as some grants are reserved for foreign students who are legally resident in the country (for their studies or internship).
In Spain, internships are funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports. Scholarships are provided by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation(MAEC-AECID).
The conditions are strict: the French student must speak Spanish well and hold an advanced university degree.
The aim of the scholarship is to provide financial support for accommodation, food, medical insurance and mobility in Spain.
Legislation in Spain is decentralized, and each region has its own specific academic and economic structure, so it’s best to get in touch directly with the universities and international departments of the Spanish region.
