National student fee
Good news if you are thinking about Montenegro: studying there is free. No category of students pays fees, and this applies to home and international students alike, in both Bachelor's and Master's programmes. Eurydice data for 2023/24 shows fees of EUR 0 in both cycles.
Because there are no fees, there are also no waivers, reductions or differences in fees between fields of study or programmes. Montenegro does not offer short-cycle programmes or part-time study, so the system is simple: full-time students study without paying fees.Student grants
Montenegro offers merit-based grants, which reward good academic results. They are available to full-time home and international students, and there is no age limit. In 2023/24 the merit-based grant was EUR 2,250 a year (minimum, maximum and most common amount were the same). There are no need-based or universal grants, and a grant cannot be combined with a public loan.Loans
Publicly subsidised loans are available to full-time home and international students, with no age limit. A loan cannot be combined with a grant. The source does not give loan amounts or repayment terms for 2023/24.Tax benefit for student's parents
