The Macedonian Ministry of Education and Science has decided to allocate some of its budget funds to finance individuals who enroll in PhD programs or specialized studies in the fields of medical, dental, or pharmaceutical sciences in one of the 100 most renowned universities in the world.
The first round of application calls is restricted to those pursuing their studies in one of the fields mentioned above. The second round will be open to those wishing to continue their education in any scientific field. The scholarship amounts have no limit as long as candidates meet the criteria, and funding will be provided for the duration of the student’s studies (but no more than six years). Besides tuition, the scholarship will also cover accommodation and cost of living (in line with the standard of living of the country where studies will take place).
Upon their returns to Macedonia, scholarship recipients who successfully finish their doctoral or specialization studies abroad will be required to work for up to 12 years (two years for every year spent abroad) in one of Macedonia’s higher ed institutions or research facilities. Returning scholarship beneficiaries will work in either public or private sector in positions that are appropriate for their levels of education. However, in case a candidate decides not to return to Macedonia after his or her studies, he or she will be responsible for paying back ten times the amount of the scholarship granted within a year of the completion of his or her studies.
