“Professional scholarship” is a national social program that targets all students attending professional education and consists of monthly financial support.

“Professional scholarship” is also granted to children of foreigners who benefit from a form of protection in Romania or to foreigners, respectively citizens of the European Union/the European Economic Area and the Swiss Confederation with the right of residence in Romania, who attend professional education.

Students in professional education cannot benefit simultaneously from the “Professional scholarship” and the financial support granted to students through the national social protection program “Bani de liceu”.

At the level of the Ministry of Education, a national committee is established to monitor the granting of the “Professional scholarship”.
