For the academic year 2023-2024, the Romanian government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is offering scholarships to foreign citizens to study for undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degrees.
The Romanian government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, awards a number of scholarships to citizens of non-EU countries each year. Only candidates with good educational results, i.e. an average of the study years for the most recently graduated school of at least 7 (seven) corresponding to the Romanian scoring system or the “Good” score, are eligible.
