The application should include:
- The purpose of the grant – what is applied for?
- Curriculum Vitae
- Motivation for applying

If the application concerns a grant for research or studies, then it should include additionally:
- Study certificate / proof of enrollment at the place of study
- Research/Study plan
- List of publications(only if the application concerns studies or research after the completion of an engineering degree)
- Letters of recommendation (if available)
NB! Grants for studies (bachelor, master, licentiate, or doctoral degree) will not be approved if the applicant already has a degree of similar level for which the grant is applied.
If the application concerns a travel grant for international studies or
work practice, then it should include additionally:

NB! Support for Master studies are limited to a maximum of 18 months total, and post-doc studies to a 24 month total. Previously awarded grants are included in this total.
NB! When applying for support for master, doctoral, or post-doctoral studies, the budget should only detail such expenses that exceed the above indicated amounts for the respective studies. Examples:
1) If you apply for 6 months of mater studies, then you apply for 9900€ (6 x 1650€) and thus no detailed budget is required.
2) If you apply for 12 months support for doctoral studies, and support for 2 conference trips à 1000€, then you apply for 28 400€ (12 x 2200€ + 2 x 1000€) and provide a budget for the conference trips as they exceed the above indicated amount for doctoral studies.
NB! Overhead costs (to cover mandatory costs for e.g. a work space at the place of study) for doctoral and post-doctoral studies may be applied for, to a maximum amount of 15% of the applied total. A detailed description of the overhead applied for must be included in the application.
