“Professional scholarship” is a national social program aimed at all students attending professional education, consisting of monthly financial support.

“Professional scholarship” is also granted to 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 the Swiss Confederation, who have the right to stay/residence on the territory of Romania, and who attend professional education.

Students in professional education cannot simultaneously benefit from the “Professional scholarship” and the financial support granted to students within 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”.
