Achieving financial independence is a great goal, especially for students. Special programs help international students partially solve financial problems. After students are enrolled in state-funded places at Russian universities, they get basic scholarships. If they study on a contract basis, they can receive partial reimbursement for tuition fees. To that end, they must win a grant or get a discount for high scores in the university’s internal exams. Besides, citizens of some foreign states will be able to spend study grant funds on other purposes pretty soon. Such support measures make life considerably easier for students, which is undoubtedly very good.
Types of grants and scholarships
All kinds of scholarship programs are available for intelligent, active, and ambitious students, PhD students, medical residents. Among them are Russian scholarships – governmental and regional scholarships, scholarships from charity foundations, industrial scholarships from employers, personal scholarships from private individuals; and international scholarships – the European Union scholarships and major programs from various countries. Some Russian universities establish partnership relations with foreign universities for exchanging and teaching promising students.
