ERASMUS is an amazing and unfortunately expensive experience. So before applying think whether you can afford it, then after applying start thinking about sources of internships. What is certain? For sure you will be supplied with the money from your university, which are desinged for Erasmus Students. The amount of money varies depending on where you are going. In general there are 3 groups of countries: western countries (the most expensive), central European (less expensive) and east part (inexpensive, according to this division). The sum of money depends on the university.
Apart from this, try also:
- The Dean of the Faculty - there can be special grant-in aid
- The Rector of the University - there can be special grant-in aid
- The Marshal of the Voivodeship - there can be special internship program for students going abroad or for high marks.
In my case, all of those attempts were successful.
You can also try different places, like special internship programs, but sometimes it requires to fulfil particular expectations and conditions, e.g. living in small towns or studying specific faculty.
The most important thing in this matter is to be successful, because you will need money on Erasmus Program and you will need a lot of money !!!
Good luck !!!
