Applications under €10,000 are assessed by the Erasmus Trustfonds staff and the board. We aim to do so within six weeks. However, in exceptional cases, it might take longer before a decision is made.
During the decision procedure, we might contact you for further information.
After a decision has been made
After we have reviewed the application, a notification of the decision will be sent to you by e-mail.
If support is granted, the grant letter states the amount granted and the requirements/conditions under which the grant is made. We might, for example, require a report of the project.
In the grant letter you are requested to submit a financial and substantive account. Please find a template for this report here.
