Lithuanian Short-Term Studies (with scholarships)

Programme requirements for the Lithuanian studies: 

Applicants for the short-term Lithuanian studies scholarships are required to choose and design their study programme in such a way that at least 50% of the subjects are related to Lithuanian studies, which might include subjects such as Lithuanian philology, linguistics, literature, Lithuanian history, ethnology and folklore, culturology, etc.

Eligibility Requirements

For Foreigners (Except the candidates of Centres of Lithuanian (Baltic) studies)

1. A candidate has to receive an official approval of acceptance (Conditional Agreement) from the chosen Lithuanian higher education institution.
2. The candidate has to be a student, lecturer or researcher (lecturers and researchers in the fields of linguistics or philology only) of higher education and research institution abroad, except citizens of Belarus and Russia who are not eligible to apply.
3. The state scholarship can be granted only once. A candidate who has already received funding under this instrument will not be eligible.

Financial Conditions

• Students must physically study in Lithuania in order to receive the scholarship and the grant covering the study cost. Distance learning is not eligible for financing.
• The grant covering the study cost is equal to the national standard study cost when the study cost established by a higher education institution exceeds the national standard study cost, or equal to the study cost payable for the studies, when the study cost established by a higher education institution does not exceed the national standard study cost. When the study cost established by a higher education institution exceeds the national standard study cost, the candidate has to cover the difference between the study cost established by a higher education institution and the national standard study cost.
• Scholarships are paid throughout the study period (including periods of holidays), by transferring money on a monthly basis to a student’s personal account (transfers to student’s personal bank account are made by the Lithuanian higher education institution, in which the student is enrolled).
• The total amount of the scholarship and the grant will be transferred to the bank account of the Lithuanian higher education institution, in which the student is enrolled.
• All candidates approved for the short–term Lithuanian studies will receive a monthly scholarship of 910 EUR. 
• The exact sum of the total amount allocated for the candidate will be calculated according to the number of days of the short-term Lithuanian studies, thus slight variations in the monthly scholarship might occur. The scholarship is intended to cover the scholarship holder’s expenses only. Additional amount for accompanying partners or family is not provided. Lithuanian state scholarships cannot be double funded from other sources, e.g. other scholarships or other academic exchange programmes.
