Central European University: Serbian Alumni Scholarship

[administrator]

Are you a student from Serbia who would like to attend CEU but find it too financially challenging? If so, alumni from Serbia have established this scholarship in order to help you attend CEU and reach your full potential.

 

The Serbian Alumni Scholarship is open to students from Serbia in financial need with a commitment to community service and the potential to build and sustain strong CEU alumni communities after graduation.

 

The scholarship may be used to supplement other financial aid packages provided by the University. In most cases the scholarship is awarded to defray the student's cost of living. The amount given each year depends on the merit and financial need of the applicant, but typically pays between 1,000 and 2,000 EUR per student, per academic year.

 

Eligibility requirements:

 

• Must be a Serbian citizen


• Demonstrated community volunteerism


• Demonstrated financial need


• Willingness to intern with the CEU Alumni Relations & Career Services office


• Must substantiate record of volunteer or civic engagement through additional references or documents if not supported by CV.


• Submit CV plus application form (below)

Applications will be reviewed by the Serbian Alumni Scholarship Committee and the CEU Alumni Relations & Career Services office
