How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

My Erasmus Plus scholarship is for 6 months. I receive 500 € per month to help with my living costs. However, students should bear in mind that the 80% of the total scholarship they are supposed to receive will be transferred to their bank accounts before their arrival at the Erasmus destination city. They will get 20% of the total amount when the Erasmus period is over, so they should plan ahead if they are very dependent on this money.
