Erasmus funding for schools

Erasmus+ is not just for university study – a significant portion of the funding goes to further education and schools. Susan Linklater explains

People may think that Erasmus+ is just for studying at universities abroad. But half of the Erasmus+ funding goes to further education, schools, adult education and youth organisations for young people and staff to spend a period of time abroad.

UK schools will get more than €21 million in European Union Erasmus+ funding this year, up from €16.5 million in 2016. This will pay for about 300 projects led by schools, academies and local authorities.

With the UK taking part in Erasmus+ as usual in 2018, and application deadlines having just been announced, €30 million is available to UK schools to apply for Erasmus+ activities in 2018.
