“The professional scholarship” is a national social program addressed to all students attending professional education and consists of monthly financial support.

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

Students in professional education cannot simultaneously benefit from the “professional scholarship” and the financial support provided under the National Social Protection Program “Money for High School”.

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