Support for School Visits and Study Stays Abroad

The state of Burgenland offers a unique financial support for temporary school visits and study stays abroad to promote the linguistic and intercultural competence of pupils and students whose main residence is in Burgenland. Both language stays and subject-specific exchange programs that complement the individual educational offer and open up new perspectives are funded. The amount of funding ranges between €600 and €2,100 depending on the income level and can be applied for at any time. As direct grants, the funding provides noticeable financial relief and helps young people gain experience in an international environment, deepen their language skills, and expand their intercultural competencies.

The program thereby specifically supports personal development and improves the participants’ long-term career prospects. A prerequisite for funding is proof of a temporary stay abroad as well as main residence in Burgenland. Thanks to the unbureaucratic application process, interested parties can plan flexibly and pursue individual learning goals. With this initiative, Burgenland contributes to expanding the educational offer, promotes exchange between cultures, and thus strengthens the prospects of young people in a globalized world.
