Luisa de Medrano Grants for students awarded a SICUE mobility place for 2026-2027

The vicerectorat d’Internacionalització, Cooperació i Multilingüisme de la Universitat de València provides information on the forthcoming Luisa de Medrano Grants call, aimed at students who have been awarded a mobility place within the SICUE national mobility programme for the 2026-2027 academic year.

These grants, promoted by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, revive the spirit of the former Séneca Grants and aim to contribute to covering the expenses arising from the change of residence associated with academic mobility within Spain.

According to the information provided by the Ministry, the main expected features are the following:

- Financial support: up to €8,100 for the full academic year (€900 per month for nine months), expected to be paid in a single instalment to facilitate the student’s relocation to the destination.

- Essential requirement: students must have been awarded a SICUE mobility place and the mobility period must involve a change of province in order to undertake face-to-face studies.

- Expected timeline: although the official call has not yet been published, students awarded a SICUE mobility place are expected to be able to apply at the beginning of the 2026-2027 academic year. The grants are expected to be awarded and paid during the first semester of the academic year.

- Compatibility: this grant will be compatible with the Ministry’s General Grant, except for the residence component.
