(Selected text from student agreement):
The student participating in MediaAC as an Erasmus+ scholarship holder understands that for months in which the student is absent from the master programme, no matter if the student in advance or subsequently has asked for being granted this absence from the respective Consortium partner, the monthly allowance may not be paid to the student.
All payments will be done by bank transfer to a European bank account. The student will provide the respective data (account number etc.) to the Coordinator at the beginning of studies.
The student understands that possible tax obligations that may result from the scholarship, in Austria or in other countries the student is a resident of, are solely in the student’s own responsibility and that the Coordinator and the other consortium partners of MediaAC cannot be made responsible for fulfilling such obligations.
