Over 88,000 young people from more than 150 countries and five continents applied this year for a study scholarship in Romania, according to an announcement made by interim foreign minister Oana Țoiu on Wednesday, July 29. The number of applications is more than 19 times higher than four years ago and represents a record. Young people from distant places chose to submit their applications to study here, with us,” the minister said on Facebook. With these scholarships, we open new doors, connect people and build trust in Romania. And a scholarship for a young person thousands of kilometers away is one of the best investments we can make,” she concluded.
