<h3>
	International Recognition:</h3>
<p>
	Participating in Erasmus+ enhances your resume by showing international experience, cultural adaptability, and language skills.</p>

<h2>
	<strong>How to Apply for Erasmus+:</strong></h2>
<h3>
	Contact Your Home University:</h3>
<p>
	You must be enrolled at a university that participates in the Erasmus+ program. Your first step is to visit your university&rsquo;s study abroad office or international relations office to check the eligibility and partner institutions.</p>
<h3>
	Choose Your Host University:</h3>
<p>
	Erasmus+ gives you the chance to study at one of over 4,000 European universities. Most universities in the program will offer an online catalogue of courses in English, along with information about the host city, accommodation options, and costs.</p>
<h3>

<h2>
	<strong>Erasmus+ Scholarship Funding:</strong></h2>
<p>
	The scholarship you receive depends on several factors, including:</p>
<ul>
	<li>
		<strong>Destination country</strong>: Scholarships are higher for destinations with a higher cost of living (e.g., Denmark, UK, France) and lower for countries with a lower cost of living (e.g., Poland, Hungary).</li>
	<li>
		<strong>Duration of stay</strong>: The longer your program, the higher the potential scholarship.</li>
	<li>
		<strong>Travel distance</strong>: Travel allowances are also provided to help with transportation costs (e.g., plane tickets).</li>
	<li>
		<strong>Erasmus+ grants typically range</strong> from <strong>&euro;200-&euro;700 per month</strong>. For example, students going to countries in Western Europe may receive closer to &euro;400-&euro;700 per month, while those studying in Eastern Europe may receive around &euro;250-&euro;500 per month.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
	<strong>Next Steps for You:</strong></h2>
