This last part is not yet secured in all countries. Therefore the applicants are encouraged to look for possible funding institutions in their home countries. It is a good idea to check the former danceWEBers from your home country and where they received funding from: http://www.lifelongburning.eu/projects/danceweb_scholarships/scholarship_recipients_since_1996.html
