Rich choice
The basic source of grants for international citizens is grants of the foreign governments. Most of all stipendium programs for all the countries in the world the government of the USA offers, and candidates are selected by some organizations, including the American councils on the international education, the International council on scientific researches and exchanges (IREX), Institute of the international education. In Russia free contests are carried out, also open competitions appear in Germany (the majority of programs administers DAAD - German service of the academic exchanges), the Great Britain (the British council), Sweden and other countries of Europe.
Grants are given also by the private funds having representations in different countries. The international program of grants is in Ford's Fund - grant-aided students are selected by Institute of the international education. DAAD distributes grants of various private funds of Germany. Having addressed to the British council, it is possible to receive a grant from the oil company «British Petroleum». The institute «Open society» (Soros fund) finances training at the Central European university in Budapest.
Both the state funds, and "private ones" finance basically studying of the humanities, economy and management, and more rarely - public health services and the exact sciences. Each program has strictly certain format: it can be studies, scientific researches, practice in the companies or the combination.
Even schoolboys can study for free abroad: the American councils offer senior pupils a year of free study in one of the schools of the USA. For students grants on a semester or a year of study at university (for example, in the area of IREX and DAAD) are usually raffled off.
However most of all the grants are allocated for postgraduate education. The American councils give money for training in the USA for a Master degree of economy, ecology, international relations, public health services and other specialties. The British council offers grants for «Chevening» for postgraduate education in Great Britain (the maximum grant is 20 thousand pounds, so it is necessary to pay in addition for especially prestigious universities from the pocket).
