To be able to study at any Croatian higher institution international students must have adequate finances or other financial means for the span of their study and stay in Croatia, from individual sources or grants and scholarship sources accessible in their nations or globally.
Currently, a good majority of universities in Croatia do not offer scholarships, grants, or any internal financial aid schemes for international students, this may be subject to change and will be updated in light of any.
Regardless, there are a good number of external scholarships provided for foreign students via a set of bilateral programs controlled by the Croatian Ministry of Science and Technology, and other schemes through some university partnerships with external establishments and organizations.
Some well-known exchange programs like CEEMUS and Erasmus+ are funded by the Agency for Mobility and EU programs.
Although some of these scholarships are very country-specific and only make up for a few countries, others generally favor the general population of international students studying in Croatia.
They include;
- Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EMJMD)
- CEEPUS Scholarships
- ZSEM Scholarship Programs
