Romanian Government Scholarship Benefits
Every student who applies and gets approved through the Romanian Scholarship will receive all of the following:
- Exempt students from tuition fees
- Free accommodation is offered.
- Monthly salary.
- You will get the student visa.
Tuition waiver
As you know, Romanian universities are not free, and they impose fees on all students if they want to study there. Therefore, if you get a Romanian scholarship, the university will exempt you from all these fees, which can reach $8,000 per year, and thus you will be exempted from paying this amount.
- Free accommodation is offered.
If you get the Romanian scholarship, the university will provide you with free accommodation in the university student residence for free, and this accommodation is usually shared. You will have a private room or a room shared with another person. The suite will have a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room and a full kitchen. In addition to free internet, electricity and heating.
- Monthly amount: as follows: For undergraduate students (65 euros per month) – For graduate students (75 – 85 euros per month)
This amount will cover part of your monthly personal needs, so you should think about saving some money now to be able to live well. In Romania, you need to cover your personal expenses with about 200 euros per month or less if you are a non-smoker.
- You will get assistance in applying for a student visa.
Of course you need to get a study visa from the Romanian embassy, and after getting the invitation letter from the Romanian Ministry of Higher Education as well as the acceptance letter from the university, you must go to the Romanian embassy to apply for the visa which you will get for free, usually it costs about 150 euros and here of course you will not pay this amount.
- You will get other benefits offered by the donor institution.
