Home / Romanian Government Scholarship
An annual scholarship offered by Romania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with the Ministry of Education, covering tuition and accommodation with a monthly stipend — awarded through competitive file evaluation.
We provide consultation, guidance and application file preparation for the scholarship — we do not guarantee obtaining it. The scholarship is competitive and the final decision rests solely with the evaluation committee at Romania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We hold no official capacity with the ministry and no influence over evaluation results.
Complete exemption from program fees for the full legal duration of study, plus registration and language test fees.
A monthly allowance paid throughout the preparatory year and study years, approximately 180 EUR per month, to help cover your daily expenses. The figure is indicative and may change according to the study level and the awarding authority's decision.
Coverage of accommodation costs in university campuses within the allocated budget, subject to availability at the host university.
The same privileges as Romanian students on public transport, metro and domestic trains.
The cost of the Romanian language year is fully covered before your degree studies begin.
Throughout the academic year and official holidays — except summer break for Bachelor's and Master's students. PhD students benefit year-round.
Bachelor's and Master's studies under this scholarship are conducted exclusively in Romanian. Students who don't speak it receive a free preparatory year to learn the language before starting their degree. PhD studies may be in Romanian or a foreign language determined by the doctoral school.
Exempt from the preparatory year: those holding a Romanian proficiency certificate at B1 or above, those who studied four consecutive years in Romanian, or those who pass the official language test.
All documents must be scanned individually as clear PDFs and officially translated into English, French or Romanian.
Applications are submitted exclusively through the ministry's Study in Romania online platform. You create a personal account, upload your scanned documents as PDFs, and digitally consent to the data processing policy (GDPR) — this consent is required for the application to be considered complete.
All applicants are notified of their application status via the email registered on the platform. Monitor your inbox regularly during this period — including your spam folder.
The Ministry of Education issues an acceptance letter specifying your assigned university and whether the preparatory year is required. You must respond officially through the platform — accepting or declining — within the specified deadline.
The acceptance letter is the essential document for obtaining the long-stay study visa. You bear the visa procedures and costs yourself — these are not covered by the scholarship.
Any application submitted outside the official platform is rejected without review — whether emailed to ministry staff, delivered directly to registry offices, or submitted via diplomatic missions. The online platform is the only accepted channel.
Send us your grades, certificate and desired major, and we'll give you an honest assessment of your chances before you pay anything.
