Romanian Government Scholarship
About this scholarship
The Romanian Government Scholarship is offered by Romania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to support international students from outside the EU to undertake undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral study at Romanian state universities. It is part of Romania’s cooperation and cultural exchange efforts, and includes a preparatory Romanian language year where needed.
The award is fully funded, covering tuition fees, free dormitory accommodation (subject to availability), and a monthly allowance scaled by study level, for the length of the degree plus any preparatory language year. Programmes may be taught in Romanian (with the preparatory year) or, where available, in another language.
Eligibility is for citizens of non-EU countries (EU citizens are not eligible) with a good academic record meeting the scheme’s minimum averages, who are not Romanian citizens and not already beneficiaries of another Romanian state scholarship, and who will study in Romanian unless choosing an available programme in another language. You create an account on the Study in Romania platform when the call opens, upload all documents with certified translations, and rank your university and programme choices, with results and allocations announced by summer. For non-EU students seeking funded study in Europe, it is an accessible, fully funded option.
