The European Union will promote the completion of higher education of young people from vulnerable groups in Bulgaria with a European project. This will happen through the Operational Program “Science and Education for Smart Growth” 2014-2020 (OPNOIR). The total budget for this purpose is BGN 7 million, part of which is in line with the national budget, the Ministry of Education and Science (MES) announced.
Schools and non-governmental organizations in partnership with higher education institutions Schools can apply for projects worth between BGN 100,000 and 195,583. The maximum duration of the projects is 18 months, and they must have been completed by 31 December 2023 at the latest
money from the operational program will support students from the second stage of high school in a vulnerable situation. The aim is for them to successfully pass the compulsory and additional matura exams and entrance exams for university students in order to continue their education. High school graduates can receive funds for the costs of entrance fees, travel and accommodation when taking exams at the university.
Semester fees and accommodation in dormitories for the first academic year will be covered for students admitted as needed within the project. Mentors can also be provided with mentors to help them adapt and socialize in the university community.
The guidelines for applying for the procedure were approved by the Managing Authority of the operational program after a public discussion. The deadline for submission of documents is 17:30 on April 5, 2022.
Proposals can be sent only electronically in the UMIS 2020 system to the address: https://eumis2020.government.bg/. Paper applications will not be admitted for evaluation.
