Student grants
Merit-based grants are provided for students showing particular scientific or artistic inclinations and winning
awards at international and national competitions. Grants are awarded on the basis of the contest announced by
the Ministry of Education and Science, two-three months after the beginning of an academic year.
Need-based grants are awarded to students based on the monthly income of their family (60 % weight), academic
performance (20 % weight), if they are the child of a single parent (10 % weight), and if studying at a technical,
engineering or medical university (10 % weight). Students who have not passed at least 80 % of the prescribed
exams for their study programme are automatically disqualified.
The average grant amount is around MKD 3 000 per month, for nine monthly instalments. The maximum grant is
about MKD 5 500 per month. Grants can be awarded to all students in first cycle studies in public and private
higher education institutions in the country. There is no scholarship for students in the first academic year.
Approximately 20-25 % of all students receive grants (need-based and merit-based grants). Support is not
available for students in short cycle programmes.
