*Before and after SUN, the special SUN rates above may not apply.

As the number of scholarships available is limited, funding offered by institutions or individuals is welcome so that we can invite more well qualified applicants. When choosing the financial aid package, please consider if you or your institution can contribute to the program expenses. Faculty and Ph.D. students are advised to approach their home departments for travel grants; researchers may have research grants available which can cover their participation; professionals may turn to their employers to fund their training at SUN. While selection of applicants will be based on the academic merit of the applications, those willing to bear the participation costs fully or partially will be preferred in case of equally strong applications.


Financial Aid

• Financial aid is available in the following categories:
  - tuition waiver
  - accommodation grant
  - travel grant (full or partial)


• Applicants from Eastern Europe and CIS countries are eligible to apply for a Full SUN Scholarship. CEU will grant a tuition waiver, and UNDP will fund travel, accommodation and insurance for accepted applicants from these countries.


• Applicants from all other countries can apply on a fee-paying basis. There are a limited number of tuition waivers available on a competitive basis. (Those who wish to apply for a tuition waiver should send a separate cover letter specifying their reasons.)


• Participants are NOT eligible to receive financial aid if they attended
  

  a) a CEU CRC (Curriculum Resource Center) session in the same calendar or academic year (i.e., they must wait one year after their participation in one of the above programs before applying to SUN), or
  
  b) two CEU faculty initiative activities (i.e., CRC, SUN) within a four-year period.



• In case an applicant is accepted to two courses, which is only possible if the two courses are run consecutively, financial aid is only available for attending one course.
