Scholarships for studying in Croatia

Learn how to receive a scholarship awarded by the Central State Office for Croats Abroad

The scholarship programme for university students who are Croatians living abroad is carried out by the Central State Office for Croats Abroad, which announces a public call for applications for the provision of scholarships to university students who are Croatians living abroad once a year. Scholarships are provided to university students to support them in their personal growth, acquisition of knowledge, skills and competencies. The experience Croatians living abroad acquire when they study in the RC enables them to feel more deeply connected to their ancestral homeland, to learn about the Croatian culture and national identity and nurture them, thereby contributing to international cooperation to the benefit of the RC, Croatian communities and Croatians across the globe.

With the help of this public call for applications, 100 scholarships are awarded for studying in Croatia. The scholarship amounts to 13,27 EUR per month and is awarded for the period of 10 months.
Persons who are eligible to apply are university students who are Croatians living abroad and who are full-time students at public higher education institutions in the RC.
Applications are submitted electronically (via an e-application form) and in hardcopy, which is available on the Central State Office website.
