Scholarship

After successfully completing the application procedures and getting accepted for exchange studies at VGTU students will be entitled for  scholarship of 750 Euros/month.

Every incoming student will have to open a bank account right after arrival to Lithuania and will have to sign the financial agreement once the account has been opened so VGTU would have the grounds for scholarship transfer. The whole procedure might take up to 2 weeks after student arrival therefore students have to plan covering their expenses for the first two weeks until the scholarship will be transferred.

Two payments of the scholarship are planned to be made (70 %+30%), the second payment will be made at the end of mobility.

that will be paid in

Visas

Students who need to apply for visa have to make sure they check the list of documents the embassy of Lithuania requires for visa application in their country of residence or in the nearest country if the embassy of Lithuania is not located there. VGTU will provide the accepted  students with the Mediation Letter that confirms the grounds for visa application. The expenses for visa application students have to cover themselves.

Lithuanian language courses

The language of instruction for incoming exchange students is English. However, we encourage all incoming students to learn the basics of local language.

The Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania is offering Lithuanian state scholarships for students, lecturers and researchers of foreign countries for Lithuanian language and culture summer courses.

During the semester VGTU offers Lithuanian language course that is free of charge. More information about the language course and about the registration for the course  will be provided during the Orientation Days after student arrival in August 2016.
