The "Professional Scholarship" is also available to children of foreigners who benefit from 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/settlement on the territory of Romania, who attend professional education.

Students in professional education cannot simultaneously benefit from the "Professional Scholarship" and the financial support awarded to students within the national social protection program "High School Money".
