Financial Aid and Scholarship Programs

Moscow University Touro is strongly committed to providing financial assistance to needy students with strong scholastic potential. This financial assistance has enabled many students to receive a higher education that would have otherwise been inaccessible to them.

Today, scholarship awards are made on a highly competitive basis and are determined by the student’s financial needs, academic promise, record of scholastic achievement and funds availability. Moscow University Touro scholarships offer payment of a specified amount of tuition and, with the exception of some corporate and association scholarships, are only available to students studying full time at the Moscow campus of Moscow University Touro.

Deadline for scholarship applications is June 25th. Unless otherwise specified, students may not hold two scholarships at the same time. Two basic scholarship programs are available to qualifying students: the Universal Scholarships Fund program and the Corporate/Association Scholarships program.

The Gold and Silver Medal Scholarships

These scholarships recognize outstanding academic achievement in secondary school and is awarded without regard to financial need. To be eligible, a student must have been awarded a Gold or Silver Medal for scholastic achievement in a Russian secondary school or have received equivalent recognition in a non-Russian school. The scholarship is not automatic; the student must make a formal application.

The Gold Medal Scholarship is the rouble equivalent of $1000 and the Silver Medal Scholarship is the rouble equivalent of $700. Both scholarships are awarded only to first year students. The award is disbursed in two equal amounts ($500 or $350) per semester, with payment in the second semester is dependent on the absence of any Ethics Code violations or F, W, or T grades for the previous semester. This scholarship is not renewable. However, second, third and fourth year students are encouraged to apply for other scholarships based on academic performance while at Moscow University Touro.

Honors and Dean’s Award Scholarship

This is an academic incentive award granted for one-half of the academic year. It is based solely on academic performance at Moscow University Touro. To qualify, the student must be in his or her second year of full time study at Moscow University Touro and complete at least 30 semester credits with a Grade Point Average of 3.8 or higher (with no W, F or Incomplete grades or Ethics Code violations). This scholarship is renewable providing the recipient maintains a consistent 3.8 or higher Grade Point Average based on a minimum of 30 semester credits.

Corporate/Association Scholarships

These scholarships are established, named and funded by Russian and international corporations, small businesses, and business associations operating in the Commonwealth of Independent States and are administered by the university for students studying at Moscow University Touro.

Students must compete for each scholarship which has its own eligibility requirements and funding stipulations. These scholarships may be based on financial need, capacity for business leadership, academic promise or any combination of these.

Conditions of award are determined by the company or association sponsor in consultation with Moscow University Touro.

Many of these scholarships are awarded to exceptionally talented students or employees with the intellectual potential to become future business leaders in Russia and elsewhere. Students who are studying under one of these scholarships may not hold other scholarships concurrently.
