DIRECTIVE regarding the award of scholarships to full-degree non-EU students by Politehnica University Timișoara from its own revenues
I. General rules regarding awarding scholarships to non-EU students
Art. 1. In order to increase the attractiveness of UPT’s study programmes, in accordance with the provisions of Law no. 199/2023 – Law of Higher Education, with its subsequent amendments and additions, and O.U.G. no. 194/2002 regarding the status of foreigners in Romania, republished, with its subsequent amendments and additions, UPT awards every academic year, for a duration of 9 months, a number of 4 scholarships amounting to 1000 RON/month to full-degree non-EU students, except for students in the first year of bachelor’s or master’s programmes, students enrolled in the Romanian language preparatory year, as well as PhD students.
Art. 2. These scholarships are awarded to full-time students who passed all their exams, whose status at the beginning of the academic year is other than “re-enrolled” or “re-enrolled with transfer”, and whose form of funding is “CPV – self funded (tax in foreign currency)”. The scholarships granted by UPT are intended to complement similar initiatives of the Ministry of Education. The scholarships awarded by the Ministry of Education aim to stimulate foreign students with outstanding performances, by changing their CPV regime to that of “BSR – Romanian state scholarship holder”. Unlike the scholarships offered by the Ministry of Education, the scholarships granted by UPT from its own revenues do not change the status of students from CPV to BSR, as students will continue to pay their tuition fees to UPT.
Art. 3. Eligibility conditions:
a) Candidates are enrolled as students at UPT and belong to the category of full-degree non-EU students with the CPV form of funding;
b) The students are enrolled in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th year of Bachelor studies (as appropriate), or in the 2nd year of master’s studies;
c) Students are integralists, having passed all their exams in the years prior to submitting the application.
II. Submission of applications

Art. 9. Scholarships will be paid from UPT’s own revenues in the RON accounts indicated by the scholarship applicants. Scholarships are paid monthly, for 9 months after the results are published. The loss of the student status automatically leads to the loss of the right to benefit from the scholarship.

Art. 11. This instruction comes into force starting from the academic year 2024-2025.
