For all those who are awarded a scholarship, the following benefits apply:
- Free accommodation in the university dormitory. Room shared with one other student.
- Travel stipend. In most cases, the stipend will cover the total sum of your travel expenses to and from Prishtina. However, for some itineraries, the travel stipend will only partially cover the costs. In this case, additional costs will have to be covered by the participant him/herself
