Focus AreasThe Roma Memorial University Scholarship Program (now known as the Roma Education Fund Scholarship Programs) offers support for eligible Romani students at the university level.
The funds for the first two years of this program were allocated from gold looted by the Nazis during the World War II and held by the Allied Forces. The Open Society Institute, with grants from the C.S. Mott Foundation and the Remembrance, Responsibility and Future Foundation, was the main financial source of the program for its third, fourth and fifth years of existence. Starting with the sixth year, financial support comes principally from OSI/REF, with the continuous support of the Remembrance, Responsibility and Future Foundation.
Roma who are eligible for the scholarship are citizens of one of the program countries and will have been accepted at state-accredited, well-acknowledged universities in their home country or country of residence, pursuing their studies for BA, MA or PhD degree.
More information is available on the Roma Education Fund Scholarship Programs website.
