Romania Government Scholarships for Developing Countries Open for 2026

The Romanian Government Scholarships for Developing Countries are anticipated to open for applications in March 2026, with a typical closing date in May. This established program, running for over three decades, provides comprehensive funding for Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD students from countries with diplomatic relations with Romania, including most African nations. Successful applicants receive a full tuition waiver, a monthly allowance of approximately RON 800–1,500 (around $175–$335 USD), and accommodation in university student dormitories. While most programs are taught in Romanian and include a fully funded preparatory language course, English-taught programs are available at select universities. Results are usually announced by July/August for programs commencing in October. Romanian medical degrees, in particular, are highly recognized across the European Union, offering significant career opportunities.
