Scholarship details
Variety enriches the education infrastructure this is also the motto for the new scholarship of MAWISTA. One semester, or even the complete study abroad, is going to be more and more popular and gives many students the opportunity to live their dreams of living abroad come true and also to get some advantages for their future career.
For MAWISTA it is very important to promote especially young people with a child who decided to study abroad. The focus is on the history/ career of the individual, their personality, and their personal background but not on the grade point average or the duration of the study. The company believes in higher education being affordable to those that are new parents or a parent who has decided to go back to school after maternity leave.
