The "College of Europe Postgraduate Scholarship Programme", conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Directorate for EU Affairs, continues with backing from the private sector, non-governmental organisations, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the College of Europe. Those who qualify for the scholarship can obtain a 10-month postgraduate education at the College of Europe (College of Europe / College d'Europe).
The College of Europe was founded in Bruges, Belgium in 1949 to offer academic assistance to the European integration efforts and to educate bureaucrats for institutions of the European Union. The College, where education in English and French is compulsory, holds a prominent status and immense respect in the field of European studies. Graduates from the College occupy high-ranking positions in EU institutions, public institutions of member and candidate states, as well as in the private sector and non-governmental organizations.
The Presidency has planned to offer scholarships for highly academic students who are interested in a master's degree in the European Union field. The scholarship will be available for the academic year 2024-2025 at the College of Europe. The number of scholarships is dependent upon our private sector and non-governmental organizations. The scholarship announcement attached outlines the application requirements, with a deadline of 16th January 2024.
