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.
