SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM DETAILS The
Romania Government Scholarships for 2024 are now open for applications,
presenting an exceptional fully funded opportunity for international students.
In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the intricate details of this
scholarship program, elucidate its manifold benefits, and elucidate the
step-by-step application process.
SCHOLARSHIP LEVELS AND COVERAGE These
prestigious scholarships, hosted by the Romanian Government, encompass
undergraduate, master's, and PhD levels of study. As a testament to Romania's
commitment to education, the scholarships encompass full tuition fees,
accommodation, and a monthly stipend of up to 80 EURO.
ANNUAL AVAILABILITY
Every year, the Romanian Government, in collaboration with the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, extends a generous number of scholarships to individuals
hailing from non-EU countries. To be eligible, applicants must exhibit an
impressive academic track record, with a minimum cumulative average of 7
(seven) or the equivalent of a 'Good' score, as per Romania's grading system,
for their last completed educational level.
FLEXIBLE FIELD OF STUDY
Applicants are granted the liberty to choose their desired field of study
across a broad spectrum of disciplines, with the exception of Medicine, Dental
Medicine, and Pharmacy. At the undergraduate and master's levels, programs are
conducted exclusively in Romanian, fostering the rich Romanian language and
culture. However, at the PhD level, candidates have the option to pursue their
studies in English or another foreign language as specified by the respective
doctoral school. For those lacking proficiency in Romanian, a preparatory year
is offered to ensure a smooth transition into their chosen study program. The
application process mandates the submission of essential documents such as
diplomas, transcripts, birth certificates, passports, and CVs.
