What it covers
Varies by grant. Most cover a monthly allowance, insurance and a fee waiver for study or research at an Austrian university; the Ernst Mach Grant is the best known of them.

Tips from successful applicants
- This is a database of many grants, not one scheme — filtering it properly is most of the work.
- The host institution's invitation is usually the slowest step; ask early.
- Age limits apply to several of the grants and are checked on the deadline date.
