Open calls for the incoming mobility at Croatian institutions

The Call for Applications is usually open during March and April for the next academic year.

Applications for the scholarships can be submitted through two different application pools:

Application Pool 1: BILATERAL AGREEMENTS

This Application Pool is open to citizens of countries (and territories) that have a valid/effective educational co-operation programme with Croatia or a bilateral agreement signed by the Croatian Government and the relevant ministry of the given country (or territory). Potential candidates are invited to apply for the Croatian Government Scholarships on offer through the Application Pool 1 by submitting their applications in the Agency’s online application system but the Scholarships can be awarded only to the candidates who are nominated by the foreign partner institutions, i.e., national competent authorities responsible for the implementation of the Bilateral Scholarships Programmes.

Application Pool 2: SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CROATIAN LANGUAGE STUDENTS

This Application Pool is open to students at language departments of the Croatian language and literature or Slavic Studies students regardless of whether their respective countries have a valid cooperation programme or a bilateral agreement with Croatia and regardless of whether the language department of Croatian language and literature falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Science and Education. The candidates for Scholarships that are on offer in the Application Pool 2 can only be nominated for the Scholarships by their current Croatian language fellow who should nominate the applicants for the Scholarships by his/her Recommendation Letter/Nomination Letter.
