Participants' feedback about the Program

The decision to take part in the Global Education program was spontaneous for me, but, as it turned out, absolutely necessary for my professional development. Studying in Australia, at the world's leading university, is like a breath of freshair, literally and figuratively. The internationalization of education and innovative strategies to improve the quality of English language teaching in universities are my areas of interest. Now I have a clear idea of what steps need to be taken to attract foreign students to Russian universities and how to ensure the proper level of English proficiency among students and teachers. Thanks to the Program and I hope that its support by the government will continue so that the newly minted masters will have the opportunity to further study at the postgraduate studies of the world's leading universities.

My field of activity is the development and development of websites and information services of the University where I work, both as a developer and as a manager. I take part in such projects as apply.innopolis.ru, university.innopolis.ru, robolymp.en, portal. university. innopolis. enetc. My attitude towards the Global Education Program is extremely positive. The program made it possible to receive a high-quality foreign education, opened up new horizons, and made it possible to make a sharp professional leap.(Ruslan Aiginin,Carnegie Mellon university(USA),Master of Science in information Technology – Software Engineering, magistracy.

Participation in the Global Education Program allowed me to gain additional, more in-depth knowledge of my profession at one of the best technical universities in the world. I would like to note the prompt and professional work of the representatives of the Global Education operator. Fellows of the Program could get the necessary help and advice at any time. I know for sure that a lot of work was carried out on the employment of graduates of the state program, although I did not participate in it, because I knew in advance that I would continue my career at Tyumen State University. As part of the research group at Tyumen State University, we are engaged in all kinds of research in the field of oil and gas, such as hydrocarbon migration, hydrodynamic modeling of deposits and gathering networks, etc.(Zakhar lance, University of New South Wales (Australia), Petroleum Engineering,Master's degree.

In December 2015 I received my degreePhDat the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. Much of this was made possible by the Global Education Program, which provided funding for my last, fifth, year of study at the Swedish PhD program. Currently, I am a researcher at the Research Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics of the North-Western Federal Medical Research Center. V.A. Almazov in the city of St. Petersburg. Most of the work performed at the Center relates to diseases of the cardiovascular system. Our research institute, Research Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics, specializes in projects dedicated to the study of genetic factors in the development of cardiological and muscular pathologies.

All scholarships
Global Education Scholarship is a presidential support program for students from Russia studying at foreign universities. "Global Education" is a public funding scheme, in other words, the opportunity to receive money for education from the Government.
According to the idea of the project, the scholarship should cover absolutely all the student's expenses - from the cost of education to the cost of food and transport. The total amount of the annual payment can reach 2.76 million rubles. The program provides scholarships only for students of the best universities in the world - Cambridge, Yale, Harvard, MIT - however, the list is not limited to top universities and includes almost three hundred universities.
At the moment, "Global Education" is the only opportunity for a Russian citizen to receive money from the state for studying at a foreign university. But the most interesting thing about the whole project is that the information about it is still not sufficiently spread, so the competition for obtaining financial coverage is rather small. Below, we'll show you how to participate in the Global Education Competition and how you can increase your chances of success.

Why was the Global Education program created?

First of all, it is worth talking about why the presidential program was created at all. After all, we are talking about very large sums that are given to the student free of charge, so what is the logic?
In fact, the answer to this question is obvious: the state finances its own development in this way. The entire scholarship fund is aimed at training specialists in five priority areas: medicine, science, engineering, education and social management. Since, alas, in Russia there are certain problems with these areas, and not all domestic universities can provide quality education in these specialties, the most obvious way out is to send the best students abroad.
The students who receive the scholarship are expected to help innovate and improve the social and scientific fields in the country. In order for the invested funds to pay off, one requirement is put forward for scholarship holders: mandatory employment in one of the partner companies for a period of 3 years or more. In other words, the student who received the funding undertakes to work for some time in his home country. Thus, instead of the costly development of the educational system, which is impossible in a short time, the state invests in citizens and, consequently, in its own economy.
In fact, the Global Education program guarantees not only free education at the best foreign universities, but also further employment. Of course, the obligation to return to Russia may confuse some students, but when making a decision, you need to understand that, most likely, you will have to return regardless of whether the student is studying at his own expense or at the expense of the state: in developed countries, the labor market is very active, and the advantage It is local students who have it, while it is much more difficult for foreigners to find a good job and stay in the country. Returning to Russia under the Global Education program, a graduate with a foreign diploma has more real opportunities not only to build a career, but also to make life better in his country.

The Global Education Scholarship is designed for a very wide group of Russians.
The first requirement for a candidate is a higher education, that is, a bachelor's or specialist's degree. Thus, the Global Education Scholarship can only be obtained for studying in a foreign master's or PhD program. According to many experts, this is a rather wise policy, since it is post-graduate education abroad that is of very high quality and allows you to perfect the skills acquired at the bachelor's degree.
The second and probably the most important requirement is self-admission to one of the leading universities abroad in priority areas. To participate in the competition, a candidate must have a certificate of admission to a university from the list for a program that falls into one of five categories - medicine, engineering, education, science and social management. In fact, these categories include a huge variety of specializations - from robotics to cultural management. At the same time, most universities participating in the program do not have high requirements for applicants. For admission to 80% of universities from the list, it is enough to have an average score of about 4.0 out of 5 and know the language of instruction (in most cases English) at the Upper-Intermediate level.
The third condition is the absence of a criminal record and official problems with the criminal code. Only those who were officially found guilty of a criminal offense fall under the category of convicts; administrative violations are not considered.
In fact, the group limited by these three criteria includes almost all university graduates who speak a foreign language and have found enough motivation for further education. There are no age, ethnic or any other restrictions for applicants: any citizen of the Russian Federation with a higher education at any age can enter.

What professions are not included in the program?

Alas, graduates with diplomas from most liberal arts faculties cannot directly access the Global Education Scholarship. Since the program is limited to a specific list of specialties, although quite broad, many faculties were not included in the list. Students with degrees in sociology, linguistics, art history, philosophy, economics, law, and other typical liberal arts fields cannot receive funding to study in their specialty. However, even humanitarians have a chance to participate.
Since the list of programs in the “Social Management” direction includes quite a lot of programs close to the humanities, graduates of the above faculties can enter a foreign university for programs close to their specialty. For example, a sociologist might enroll in the Social Policy program, a financier in the Health Economics program, or an art historian in the Cultural Heritage Management program. Moreover, this is absolutely real, since many foreign universities are happy to accept students even with a significant difference between the previous education and the chosen course: especially in this regard, you should pay attention to the USA and Great Britain. Thus, the Global Education Scholarship is available to almost all bachelors.

Who Can Receive the Global Education Scholarship?

Although the competition for the Global Education Scholarship is rather small, not everyone in a row receives funding. The award decision is made on the basis of specific indicators, which are described below in order of priority:

-Place in the electronic queue. Oddly enough, the most important criterion in calculating a student's ranking is the date of application. The highest rating is given to those candidates who applied the earliest. Therefore, in order to be sure to receive a scholarship by the start of your studies, you must apply as early as possible. But, since the scholarship is awarded in 4 stages each year - deadlines are spread over March, June, August and November - in order to increase your chance of success, it is enough to register at the end of any of these months.
-Study abroad. The candidate's rating will also increase if he studied or is studying at the time of application at a foreign university. That is, funding can be obtained even remotely, for example, for the second year of a master's degree abroad, studying in the first - these are the students who will be given priority in the second place.
-Professional experience. When selecting fellows, the commission takes into account the background of the participants, including the professional one. In this regard, already experienced candidates who have worked in the specialty for several years may receive priority. Therefore, unlike other scholarship programs, in the Global Education competition, age can be an advantage, not an obstacle.
-Publications in scientific journals. Candidates with publications in authorized scientific journals at the time of receipt will receive an additional bonus in the competition. However, if a student does not have them, his rating does not decrease - after all, only a small part of the candidates can boast of scientific articles, and the rating from their presence does not increase so much (at least 2 times less than with a long term registration).

How to get a scholarship? - Step-by-step instruction

Registration. The first step to receiving government funding is to register on the official website. To register, the candidate must provide their first and last name, e-mail and password. Upon registration, the student receives an email asking them to verify their email address.
Filling out the questionnaire. The application for a scholarship is filled out online: the candidate only needs to enter the necessary data in his personal account and click the “Get registration in the electronic queue” button. The required information includes passport data (both civil and foreign passports), SNILS and TIN (if any), information about previous education, information about professional experience and publications in scientific journals.
Supporting documents. Upon filling out the application, the student is assigned a place from the electronic queue and given time to upload scans of supporting documents. The required documents include a Russian passport, a foreign passport, diplomas and certificates indicating previous education, a work book (if any), a certificate of no criminal record, a letter of admission to the university and an invoice for tuition fees (if it is paid).
Waiting for the decision of the commission. After all supporting documents are sent, the candidate can only wait. The list of students who received a scholarship is published within a month after the completion of the next stage of the competition.
Getting funding. If the candidate turned out to be lucky enough to find his name in the list of winners, then his further actions are very simple: signing a contract for the award of a scholarship, which specifies the conditions and obligations of the scholarship holder to the sponsor, and then - the formalities necessary immediately before the student leaves for another country - visa, air tickets and other responsible, but very pleasant steps.

Global Education 2017–2025

To some extent, the Global Education program 2013-2016 can be called a failure: there were more scholarships than suitable candidates. Fortunately, this does not demotivate the authorities, but, on the contrary, forces them to extend the program in order to fully realize its goals. The second round of the Global Education project was launched in 2017 and is planned to be extended until 2025. Thus, in 2016, federal funding did not end at all, but only began to develop. For Russian students, there is still the opportunity to go abroad to the best university for free, and it is simply impossible not to take advantage of this opportunity.
