Applications are now open for the 2019-2020 Dora Plus scholarship for foreign master’s students at the Tallinn University (TU)

The goal of this activity is to support foreign master’s students studying in Estonia, thereby contributing to international exchange of knowledge, to make the local study process more international and to increase the number of highly educated employees in Estonia in the long run.

Foreign master’s students can be awarded the scholarship when studying with full-time study load in one of the international master’s programmes at Tallinn University. The scholarship can be awarded for one study year at a time, i.e. 10 months (September to June). For the second year of studies, the master’s students need to apply anew. The scholarship amount is 350 euros per month.

Important: The scholarship payment to foreign master’s students is discontinued if they take an academic leave or go abroad for a study mobility that lasts more than 30 days (Eramus+, Kristjan Jaak scholarships etc.). The scholarship payment is discontinued starting from the month that the beneficiary is no longer in compliance with the scholarship conditions.

The scholarship can be awarded to a talented master’s student of Tallinn University:
