The Russian embassy in Estonia invited applicants to apply for training in Russian higher education institutions under the Russian government quota, RIA Novosti reports.

Russians permanently residing in the Baltic Republic, Estonian citizens and stateless persons have the right to apply for the grant.  The quota will cover ninety-five places in Russian universities.

Russkiy Mir reported that citizens of foreign states, including compatriots living abroad, can join the program. Those who plan to continue their education in Russia at the expense of the federal budget need to contact the Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in their country. Documents can be provided in paper or online. If there is no Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in the country, the embassy of the Russian Federation selects applicants.

The selection consists of two stages. The first combines the collection of documents and draft tests. After that, a list of candidates is created according to the quota allocated for the country.

At the second stage, the Ministry of Education and Science considers candidates and their files for compliance with the established requirements, then sends lists and files of candidates to universities that are directly involved in the selection.
