Confirmation fee cashback explained

When you get pre-selected to one of our partner universities through wearefreemovers, you:

1. Pay the confirmation fee 💸

After being chosen, you pay a small confirmation fee to secure your place. This fee is not an application fee, which you’d typically need to pay for each university you apply to.
 
The difference is simple:
  • 👍 with us, you just need to pay one confirmation fee after your dream destination pre-selects you on our platform.
  • 👎 without us, you are asked to pay multiple application fees at different universities before even getting feedback from them.

2. Start your semester abroad ✈️

Once you have completed the process, paid the full semester fee to the university, and officially started your free mover semester, the reward kicks in.

3. Receive your cashback 💰

You will get a full refund of your confirmation fee—and that’s not all! You will also receive an additional economic incentive as a cashback reward, giving you more money than you initially paid.
 
For example, if your confirmation fee is €99, you will receive €250 back once your semester begins. That’s €151 extra in your pocket, and you can use it for whatever you like. What a fantastic start for your next experience abroad!

Why this is a game-changer

  1. No multiple application fees: Instead of paying €100-€150 per application to multiple universities, you only pay a single confirmation fee, saving time and money.
  2. More money in your pocket: Not only is the confirmation fee fully refunded, but you also receive an extra bonus, making this the most financially rewarding way to apply for a free mover semester.
  3. Simplified admission process: With wearefreemovers, your admission process is faster, easier, and supported at every step of the way.

An example of how it works

Let’s break it down:
  • You pay a €99 confirmation fee to apply for your semester abroad.
  • Once you start your semester, you’ll receive:
    • A €99 refund of your confirmation fee.
    • An additional €151 bonus, totaling €250 back.
  • Net result: You not only study abroad more conveniently, but you also gain financial support for your journey.

FAQ

The confirmation fee cashback is a unique program by wearefreemovers that rewards students who begin their free mover semester at one of our partner universities. Once you start your semester abroad, you will receive a full refund of your confirmation fee, plus an additional bonus—making it a total cashback of up to €250!

The cashback is paid in cash (direct bank transfer), giving you complete freedom to use it as you wish. The cashback is processed after you officially start your semester abroad at the participating partner university.

The confirmation fee is paid to process your conditional pre-selection and finalize your application to the selected destination. If you do not complete all requirements—such as submitting the relevant documents or starting your semester abroad—the confirmation fee is not refunded. However, once you fulfill the requirements and officially begin your semester, the confirmation fee is refunded in full, and you also receive an additional cashback bonus.

A confirmation fee is a one-time payment made after you’ve been conditionally pre-selected for a partner university. It covers the processing of your application and ensures your pre-selection is moved forward to the final stages, giving you a head start in securing your admission. Importantly:
  • The confirmation fee is refundable with a cashback bonus once you start your semester abroad.
  • It is only paid once, regardless of how many universities you explore before pre-selection.
In contrast, an application fee is charged directly by individual universities and must be paid for every application you submit. These fees are typically non-refundable and do not include pre-selection or bonus incentives.
 
With wearefreemovers, you avoid paying multiple application fees without knowing the result, making the process simpler and more cost-effective.

Absolutely! The cashback is not restricted—you can use it for any expenses, whether it’s academic materials, housing, travel, or simply enjoying your time abroad.

Yes! The cashback applies to every free mover mobility you complete at one of our partner universities. For example, if you study abroad in two different semesters at two of our partner institutions, you will receive a cashback for each semester. There’s no limit—each partner university semester qualifies!

No, the cashback is only available for a free mover enrollment at selected partner universities. These institutions offer the Easy Apply function, which drastically simplifies your application process while providing this additional financial benefit.

The cashback is paid after your semester begins to ensure that everything is finalized with your university enrollment. This also aligns with when universities confirm your registration and payment. It’s an incentive to help you settle into your new academic adventure with extra financial support.

Applying directly to a university usually requires multiple application fees, often between €100-€200 for each university.

With wearefreemovers, you pay only one confirmation fee, and you will get the entire amount refunded plus a bonus, making it the most cost-effective and rewarding option for free movers.

Partner universities offering the cashback are clearly marked on our platform with the cashback badge. You can easily identify these universities and confirm their eligibility for the cashback incentive.
