Will AquaTT contribute to the cost for hosting a student?
Aqua TT is unable to provide any support funding at this time. Some students have funding from their institute or via an outside grant, while others will need 100% support from the host company. Likely costs to be incurred by a company include: insurance, local travel, and subsistence. All costs are the responsibility of the host. As a minimum AquaTT suggests the company provides the student with €650/month for living costs (this can be inclusive of grant, accommodation or food provided). This recommendation varies depending on the location and working conditions and should be viewed as a minimum recommended amount. AquaTT does not support exploitation of students in any way. If students report problems in their post placement reporting, companies may be suspended from using the programme.
