Romanian Government Scholarship 2027-28

Romanian Government Scholarship 2027-28 for Pakistani students

The Romanian Government Scholarship is offered each year by Romania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to students from non-EU countries, including Pakistan, for a bachelor’s, master’s or PhD at a Romanian public university. It gives free tuition, a place in a student hostel when one is available, a monthly allowance and, if you do not speak Romanian, a preparatory year to learn the language. The last call ran from 16 February to 31 March 2026; the 2027-28 call is expected on the same dates in 2027.

What the Romania scholarship covers

• Free tuition at a Romanian public university
• Free accommodation in a student hostel, if places are available
• A monthly allowance paid in Romanian lei. In past calls it was the equivalent of €65 (bachelor’s), €75 (master’s) and €85 (PhD); check the current amount in the official call.
• One preparatory year of Romanian language, if you do not already speak Romanian

The scholarship does not pay for food or for flights, so plan for those costs yourself.

Tips

• Prepare documents early. HEC and IBCC attestation can take weeks.
• Plan for the language year. Most programmes are taught in Romanian, so most scholars spend the first year learning it.
• Budget for living costs. The allowance is small; food and travel are not covered.
