This is a state program for financing study abroad for Russian citizens who entered one of the leading foreign universities. The results of the implementation of the first stage of the program will be presented at the Moscow International Education Fair 2017 (IMSO), which will be held in Moscow from 12 to 15 April. Ksenia Ivanenko, head of the department of the Center for Educational Development of the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO, answered questions about the work of the program to the RIA Novosti correspondent.

Many visitors to the Salon are interested in studying abroad. We will tell them about the Global Education program and share the results of its pilot phase from the end of 2014 to 2016. In addition, we will talk about a new stage that began a few days ago, after the signing of a new Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation on the extension of the program until 2025.

Over the past two and a half years, we have seen a huge interest of Russians in the program - more than 23 thousand users have registered on its website during this time. In total, 9 competitive selections were held, as a result of which 498 people became the winners of the program. To date, 29 program participants have already completed their studies abroad, returned to Russia and got a job. In 2017, another 122 people will graduate.

Program participants get jobs in corporations, federal and leading regional universities, the social sector, high-tech companies and industrial enterprises. Detailed information about all places of employment is presented on the program website.

- Which universities are the most popular among the program participants?

In total, 32 countries participate in the program, but Great Britain is of the greatest interest among our students, 176 grantees have already gone there. In second place is Australia, 120 people. The third and fourth places are shared by Germany and the Netherlands - 30 and 29 applications, respectively. In fifth place in popularity is the United States, and in sixth is Italy.

- What areas of training do the program participants choose?

In the first place was "Management in the field of higher education", 54 people went to study in this direction. Followed by " Information Technology"- 29 people," Ecology "- 20 people," Architecture "and" Oil and Gas Business "- 10 people each.

- Graduates of which Russian universities received grants under the Global Education program most often?

In the first place St. Petersburg State University(19 people). Then Moscow State University (15), Uralsk federal university(14), Phystech (12), Siberian Federal University (12) and Kazan Federal University (11).

80% of grantees were enrolled in master's programs and 20% in postgraduate programs. In total, the program provides support for training at three levels of education - this is a master's degree, postgraduate studies, and, for doctors, a residency.

By the way, not only young people participate in the program, we do not have an age limit. Within the framework of our programs, professors also go to improve their qualifications.

- Is there a competition for a grant among those applicants who have fulfilled all the conditions of the program?

For us, the most important thing is that a person himself enrolls in a top foreign university from the list of the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation (for us this is a guarantee that he has the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities) and meets all the requirements for participation in the program. A foreign university itself makes a decision on the enrollment of a student.

- How popular is foreign education among Russian youth today?

Do you know how many Russians are studying abroad today? In Germany - about 11.5 thousand, in the USA - more than 5.5 thousand, in France - more than 5 thousand, in Australia - one thousand six hundred. Many of them went to study on scholarships provided by foreign universities or foreign scholarship programs. Most of the programs do not involve the return of our specialists to Russia.

The uniqueness of the Global Education program is that our state not only finances the education of its citizens abroad, but also assists them in their subsequent employment in Russia.

As a result, the state also wins - the brain drain stops, and highly qualified specialists return to Russia.

What advice would you give to today's bachelors who are planning to enter foreign universities as part of the Global Education program?

Firstly, to start learning a foreign language, because in order to enter a university, you will need to pass a language exam. Secondly, the leading foreign universities need to start the preparation process in advance, because the admission process can take from six months to one and a half years. Thirdly, do not be afraid of anything and believe in yourself, and then everything will work out!

All scholarships
Global Education Scholarship is a presidential program to support Russian students studying at foreign universities. "Global education" is a public funding scheme, in other words, an opportunity to receive money for studies from the Government.
According to the idea of the project, the scholarship should cover absolutely all student expenses - from tuition fees to food and transport costs. The total amount of the annual payment can reach 2.76 million rubles. The program provides scholarships only for students of the best universities in the world - Cambridge, Yale, Harvard, MIT - but the list is not limited only to top universities and has almost three hundred universities.
At the moment, "Global Education" is the only opportunity for a Russian citizen to receive money from the state to study at a foreign university. But the most interesting thing about the whole project is that information about it has not yet been widely disseminated, so the competition for financial coverage is rather small. Below we will tell you how to participate in the Global Education competition and how to increase your chances of success.

Why was the Global Education program created?

First of all, it is worth talking about why the presidential program was created at all. After all it comes about very large sums that are given to the student free of charge, so what is the logic?
In fact, the answer to this question is obvious: the state thus finances its own development. The entire scholarship fund is aimed at training specialists in five priority areas: medicine, science, engineering, education and social management... Since, alas, in Russia there are certain problems with these areas, and not all domestic universities can provide quality education in these specialties, the most obvious way out is to send the best students abroad.
The scholarship students are expected to help innovate and improve the social and scientific spheres in the country. In order for the invested funds to pay off, one requirement is put forward for the scholars: compulsory employment in one of the partner companies for a period of 3 years or more. In other words, the student who has received funding undertakes to work for some time in his home country. Thus, instead of expensive development educational system, which is impossible in a short time, the state invests in citizens and, consequently, in its own economy.
In fact, the Global Education program guarantees not only free education in the best foreign universities, but also further employment. Of course, the obligation to return to Russia may confuse some students, but when making a decision, you need to understand that, most likely, you will have to return, regardless of whether the student is studying at his own expense or at the expense of the state: in developed countries, the labor market is very active, and the advantage are local students, while foreigners find Good work and staying in the country is much more difficult. Returning to Russia under the Global Education program, a graduate with a foreign diploma has more realistic opportunities not only to build a career, but also to make life in his country better.

The Global Education Scholarship is designed for a very broad group of Russians.
The first requirement for a candidate is a higher education, that is, a bachelor's or specialist's diploma. Thus, it is possible to receive the Global Education scholarship only for studying in a foreign master's degree or postgraduate study. According to many experts, this is a rather wise policy, since it is post-graduate education abroad that is very different. high quality and allows you to perfect the skills acquired in the bachelor's degree.
The second and probably the most important requirement is independent admission to one of the leading universities abroad in priority areas. To participate in the competition, the candidate must have a university enrollment certificate from the list for a program that falls into one of five categories - medicine, engineering, education, science and social management. In fact, these categories include a huge variety of specializations - from robotics to cultural management. At the same time, most of the universities participating in the program do not differ in high requirements for applicants. For admission to 80% of the universities on the list, it is enough to have an average score of about 4.0 out of 5 and know the language of instruction (in most cases English) at the Upper-Intermediate level.
The third condition is the absence of a criminal record and official problems with the criminal code. Only those who have been officially found guilty of a criminal offense fall under the category of convicts; administrative violations are not considered.
In fact, the group limited by these three criteria includes almost all university graduates who own foreign language and found enough motivation for further training. There are no age, ethnic or any other restrictions on applicants: any citizen of the Russian Federation with higher education at any age.

What professions are not included in the program?

Alas, graduates with diplomas from most of the humanities faculties have no direct access to the Global Education scholarship. Since the program is limited to a specific list of specialties, albeit quite wide, many faculties were not included in the list. Students with degrees in sociology, linguistics, art history, philosophy, economics, jurisprudence and other typically humanities cannot receive funding to study in their specialty. However, even the humanities have a chance to participate.
Since the list of programs of the direction "Social Management" includes quite a lot of programs close to humanitarian disciplines, graduates of the above faculties can enter a foreign university for programs close to their specialty. For example, a sociologist can apply to the Social Policy program, a financier to the Health Economics program, and an art critic to the Cultural Heritage Management program. Moreover, this is absolutely real, since many foreign universities are happy to accept students even with a significant difference between the previous education and the chosen course: especially in this regard, it is worth paying attention to the United States and Great Britain. Thus, the Global Education Scholarship is available to almost all bachelors.

Who Can Get the Global Education Fellowship?

Although the competition for the Global Education scholarship is rather small, not everyone is receiving funding. The decision on the award is made on the basis of specific indicators, which are described below in order of priority:

-Place in the electronic queue... Ironically, the most important criterion in calculating a student's rating is the date of application. Most high rating have those candidates who applied before everyone else. Therefore, in order to be sure to receive a scholarship before the start of your studies, you must apply as early as possible. But since the scholarship is awarded in 4 stages every year - deadlines are spread over March, June, August and November - in order to increase your chance of success, it is enough to register at the end of any of these months.
-Study abroad... The candidate's rating will also increase if he was studying or studying at the time of application at a foreign university. That is, funding can be obtained even remotely, for example, in the second year of a master's program abroad, studying in the first - it is precisely such students that will be given priority in the second place.
-Professional experience... When selecting fellows, the commission takes into account the background of the participants, including the professional one. In this regard, already experienced candidates who have worked in the specialty for several years may receive priority. Therefore, unlike other scholarship programs, in the Global Education competition, age can be an advantage, not an obstacle.
-Publications in scientific journals... Candidates who have publications in authorized scientific journals at the time of receipt will receive an additional bonus in the competition. However, if a student does not have them, his rating does not decrease - after all, only a small part of candidates can boast scientific articles, and the rating from their presence does not increase so much (at least 2 times less than with a long registration period).

How do I get a scholarship? - Step-by-step instruction

registration... The first step to obtaining government funding is registering on the official website. To register, the candidate must indicate his name and surname, email and password. Upon registration, the student receives an email asking to confirm the email address.
Filling out the questionnaire... The application for a scholarship is filled out online: the candidate only needs to enter the necessary data in his personal account and click the button “Receive registration in the electronic queue”. The required information includes passport data (both civil and foreign passports), SNILS and TIN (if any), information on previous education, information on professional experience and publications in scientific journals.
Supporting documents... Upon completion of the application, the student is assigned a place from the electronic queue and time is given to upload scans of supporting documents. TO necessary documents include a Russian passport, a foreign passport, diplomas and certificates testifying to previous education, a work record book (if any), a certificate of no criminal record, a letter of admission to the university and an invoice for tuition fees (if it is paid).
Waiting for the decision of the commission... After all supporting documents have been sent, the candidate can only wait. The list of students who received a scholarship is published within a month after the completion of the next stage of the competition.
Receiving funding... If the candidate was lucky enough to find his name in the list of winners, then his further actions are very simple: signing an agreement for the award of a scholarship, which specifies the conditions and obligations of the scholarship holder to the sponsor, and then - the formalities required immediately before leaving the student to another country - visa, air tickets and other important but very pleasant steps.

Global Education 2017–2025

In some ways, the Global Education 2013-2016 program can be called a failure: there were more scholarships than suitable candidates. Fortunately, this does not demotivate the authorities, but, on the contrary, makes it necessary to extend the program in order to fully realize its goals. The second round of the Global Education project was launched in 2017 and is planned to be extended until 2025. Thus, in 2016, federal funding did not end at all, but only began to develop. For Russian students, there is still the opportunity to go abroad to the best university for free, and it is simply impossible not to take advantage of this opportunity.
