Dora Plus Scholarship for Foreign Master's Students
Dora Plus activity 2.1: Inclusion of foreign master's students studying in degree studies
The goal of this activity is to support foreign master’s students studying in Estonia, thereby contributing to the international exchange of knowledge, making the local study process more international and increasing the number of highly educated employees in Estonia in the long run. The scholarship's purpose is helping with covering accommodation and living expenses in Estonia and therefore is paid only if the student stays in Estonia during their studies. The Dora Plus programme is implemented by Archimedes Foundation.
