About this opportunity
The 'Go, Study and Return' program is an initiative by Tuk-Tam that supports motivated Bulgarians to continue their education with a master's degree at a foreign university, and then apply what they have learned back in Bulgaria. The program provides financial scholarships and support to help build a brighter future for Bulgaria. Beyond financial support, Tuk-Tam scholarship recipients receive assistance during their studies, in their future professional development, in building networks and contacts, and when returning to Bulgaria. For 2025, the program offers multiple scholarship categories with a total fund of 160,000 BGN, including general community scholarships (100,000 BGN), the 'Chance for You' social scholarship (30,000 BGN), a specialized 'Decarbonization and Energy Transition' scholarship from CWP (up to 20,000 BGN), and a specialized 'Food and Future' scholarship from Mastercard for women in culinary industries (10,000 BGN). Scholarship recipients must return to Bulgaria within 6 months after completing their studies and work in Bulgaria for at least one year.
