Several universities, including Lomonosov Moscow State University, do not take part in this scholarship program.
The achievements of Russian higher education are well known and respected all over the world. At present, more that 60,000 foreign students study at more than 100 Russian universities.Along with the traditional form of higher education on the contract basis, the Russian government scholarships are designed foreign students who wish to study at Russian state universities. Every year the Government of the Russian Federation offers 3,000 scholarships for overseas students, including 20 scholarships for a complete course (Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees) and 5 scholarships for postgraduate (Ph.D.) and postdoctorate studies.The application deadline for the Russian government scholarships is March, 31.
