Scholarship terms for undergraduate / graduate studies

For scholarship holders who are about to follow a full cycle of undergraduate / graduate studies in Croatia and whose Croatian language skills are not sufficient, a scholarship for an initial one (1) academic year shall be granted in order to follow Croatian language lessons and be prepared for the final language exam, which they should pass successfully. In case they fail, the scholarship is automatically discontinued, and the scholarship holder is obliged to return to his/her country. In case they succeed, the scholarship is granted for a full cycle of undergraduate / graduate studies, and renewed every year, pending academic success.

Each scholarship holder is obliged, throughout the scholarship programme, to stay in Croatia and be engaged solely in the programme which has been approved by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. Absence is justified for three (3) consecutive months (during summer) and in case a scholarship holder needs to be absent for a longer period, he/she should inform the Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes.
