Recommendations by scholars

Stage I. Applying for a scholarship

Documents required for scholarship application:

• completed electronic scholarship application form (see below);
• two letters of recommendation from the director of applicant’s secondary education institution, a teacher, the head of an out-of-school and/or interest education institution, a lecturer or another person who has worked closely with the applicant on projects, etc.;
• CV or Curriculum Vitae (in Europass format);
• a free-format essay about applicant’s favourite patron (up to 6 000 characters with spaces);
• other documents – see the list included in the scholarship application form below.

Scholarship Commission carefully evaluates each application and invites the most promising applicants for a personal interview.

Stage II. Interview

In a personal interview, the student must be able to justify his/her eligibility for the scholarship within 10 to 15 minutes – it is a conversation about past achievements, future goals and how the scholarship will help to achieve them. In case of a positive result, a scholarship will be awarded for the duration of the academic year. This scholarship period will also include cooperation with other scholarship recipients – talented and enthusiastic young people from various faculties.
