>>The European Commission has made available a limited fund to
>>complement existing sources of funding and to help support students
>>with grave disabilities and exceptional special needs who wish to take
>>part in SOCRATES - ERASMUS exchange and who might otherwise be
>>prevented from doing so.
>>
>>Institutions are invited to submit applications on behalf of such students
>>by, at the latest, 15th June 1999.
>>
>>To be eligible for the additional funding strict criteria will need to be
>>met:
>>
>>· The student must have a grave disability and/or exceptional needs.
>>
>>· The application must be supported by a medical certificate and
>>objective evidence testifying to the scale of the disability or special
>>need and the difficulty which it presents to the mobility of the student,
>>i.e., the ability to participate in the exchange, not simply difficulty with
>>
>>physical mobility.
>>
>>· The application should therefore contain a descriptive account of the
>>individual circumstances relevant to each case and:
>>
>>· a detailed cost estimate of the special requirements;
>>· a medical certificate and other supporting documentation;
>>· full details of other financial support or support in kind, e.g. care
>>assistant;
>>· an estimate of the total complementary sum requested.
>>· Institutions should also provide evidence that the host institution is
>>aware of the disability or special need and has indicated that it can
>>provide appropriate facilities and support and that buildings/lecture
>>theatres/library are all accessible in the context of the disability or
>>special needs of the student.
>>
>>A form to be completed for this purpose can be obtained from UK
>>Socrates-Erasmus by emailing [log in to unmask]
>>
>>Additional guidance on support for mobile students with special needs is
>>available in the guide Studying Abroad (Volume 1 : Checklist of needs for
>>students with disabilities; Volume 2 : European guide for students with
>>disabilities). Copies have been distributed to universities. Further
>>copies are available on the worldwide web at
>>
>>http://europa.eu.int/en/comm/dg22/socrates/specnds.html
>>
>>and on request from the SOCRATES & Youth Technical Assistance
>>Office, rue Montoyer 70, B-1000 Brussels (fax 00 32 2 233 0150).
>>
>>It will not be possible to consider any applications received after the
>>deadline of the 15th June. It is planned to inform applicants of the
>>outcome of their application by early July.
>>
>>Yours Sincerely
>>
>>Susan Slater
