Merit Scholarships

These scholarships are awarded by higher education institutions to students of exceptional ability, regardless of their income, according to the legislation in force. The amount of the scholarship is 5 times the minimum wage.

Working and Studying

Students who are working to finance their studies may be eligible to obtain the status of working student. This status confers a range of benefits allowing such students to reconcile the two activities. For more information, consult this page.
