Scholarship

After passing an entrance exam, the government grants state-funded scholarships with 15,000 places for international students. Students will benefit from the scholarships by receiving free tuition and maintenance expenses. Foreign graduates participating in internships for professional development or career growth but just receiving housing in university residence halls will not be eligible for these offers.

Governmental awards: All students, both domestic and foreign, are accepted by the Russian Federation, and there are three ways to apply for state-funded spots: 

  • Winning an Academic competition of levels 1, 2, and 3 in Russia or abroad.
  • Qualifying for the entrance exam.
  • Qualifying in the competitive selection for quotas.

The benefits of these scholarships come in two different forms: 

First, they allow applicants to join without taking an entrance exam, and second, they allow the best applicants to be chosen for the Unified State Examination (USE). Regarding the contests, the level 1 winner will be registered without taking an entrance exam, and the level 2 and level 3 winners will be eligible for bonus points based on the outcomes of the state exam.
