Grant and scholarship recipients
We provide pension insurance for recipients of scientific or artistic grants. In addition to compulsory MYEL pension insurance, we provide recipients of grants with both occupational and leisure-time accident insurance, Mela sickness allowance, the possibility to receive occupational rehabilitation and group life insurance. All of this put together is what we call Mela security.
Looking for these?
You can apply for MYEL insurance once you have received an affirmative grant or scholarship decision and have already begun or are about to begin your grant or scholarship work.
