I know the fear of the unknown — and the thrill of a new beginning. As a 2025 Russian Government Scholar and BAPO special intern, I share what I’ve learned to help you move forward.
Every Student dreams of getting a better education, State of the art faculty and great facilities from their University. Sadly, not all students can achieve this as in countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal or India, there are not enough good Government Universities on the other hand Private Universities are very costly and not every student can afford it. In fact most students have to study in an average or low ranking university in their home country but if I tell you there are other ways of studying in world ranking Universities in Europe for free some of you wouldn’t believe it. But in reality, European Country Romania is giving scholarships to international students every year under the Romanian Government Scholarship that covers Tuition fee, Dormitory and other living expenses ( Monthly Stipend).
Romania has some of the best and world ranking universities in Europe. Offering exceptional subjects in the field of Engineering, MBBS, Business, Humanities etc. Some of the top ranking Universities name are given below:

Now lets move to the eligibility criteria, see if you are eligible for this scholarship or not.
There are many requirement for this scholarship but mainly we can divide these requirement into two formats :
If you meet all the requirements now it's time to observe which subjects students can study.
There are many study fields where students can study under this scholarship still some subjects are excluded from the list .To be exact students can not study Medicine, Dental and Pharmacy related subjects under this scholarship. Apart from this any Students can study any subject they prefer.
Now you have made up your mind to apply for this scholarship. Hold on a second, first know about the required documents.
The Romanian Government Scholarship seems to be a nearly perfect scholarship but it has some drawbacks too. Now let’s take a look at those drawback’s:
The government gives an average amount of stipend but it can’t cover all the expenses of a student. So, students need to cover all expenses with the help of their savings or part-time job .
Most of the programmes under this scholarship are taught in Romanian Language. Although, University gives free preparatory courses to the students, still some students find it challenging to study in Romanian Language.
Not all the subjects are available there and if a student wants to study subjects related to Medicine, Dental or pharmacy can study under this Scholarship.
In this Scholarship there are limited seats for international students but a lot of applicants. So, there is a tight competition between applicants and sometimes good applicants with better profiles get rejected due to competition.
But there are only a few drawbacks to this scholarship but the opportunity is very precious. So don't think much just start preparing and apply for the scholarship.
The Romanian Government Scholarship presents an outstanding opportunity for Bangladeshi students seeking quality European higher education with comprehensive financial support. This fully-funded program, offering 500 scholarships annually to non-EU countries, provides complete coverage including tuition fees, accommodation, monthly stipends, and even a preparatory Romanian language course. If you are confident enough and have enough knowledge you can get this ticket to study in Romania for free. So, don't waste time and start preparing for the Romanian Government Scholarship.
