Bulgaria: scholarships and study funding

CliniGA Education editorial teamSources checked: October 27, 2026

Check eligibility before comparing scholarship amounts. An award may cover tuition, living costs or only a particular mobility period. Admission does not automatically include funding, and a national call may run on a different timetable from university financial support.

Bulgaria

Compare Bulgarian scholarships at institution level. AUBG distinguishes merit-based awards from need-based support, with financial evidence required for the latter. That example does not imply the same scholarship exists at every Bulgarian university or is awarded to every applicant. Request selection, renewal and coverage rules for your own programme. After any tuition reduction, calculate the remaining accommodation, food and transport budget separately before accepting the financial package.

Build your action plan

Check nationality, residence, degree and subject restrictions for each call.
Compare covered expenses, duration and conditions rather than the headline award alone.
Establish whether funding needs a separate application or nomination.
Do not budget an unconfirmed scholarship as income; reserve cash for travel, deposits and early months.
