“The Professional Scholarship” is a national social program aimed at all students attending vocational education and consists of monthly financial support.

The “Professional Scholarship” is also granted to children of foreigners who are beneficiaries of a form of protection in Romania, or to foreigners, namely citizens of the European Union/Economic European Area and the Swiss Confederation with the right of residence on the territory of Romania, who attend vocational education.

Students in vocational education cannot benefit simultaneously from the “Professional Scholarship” and the financial support provided to students under the national social protection program “High School Money”.

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