HOW MUCH

With the memorandum of association the Parus Foundation undertook to dedicate the collected funds for granting postgraduate studies of commercial law and law of legal and economic sciences.

Each year, candidates who qualify will be awarded scholarships for various levels and institutions of study.

HOW

In addition to excellent academic success and excellent assessment of the diploma thesis, candidates must also demonstrate top communication skills. We especially value the management of complex situations, coordination of parallel projects and the ability to lead a team of associates. Today, an excellent knowledge of at least two world languages is the condition for any serious conversation.

Answering the following questions should help you decide about applying for the scholarship:

  • Do you have excellent academic grades with an average of over 8?

  • Did you graduate with honours?

  • Are you an effective and skilled speaker?

  • Do you master Slovenian and at least two more world languages?

  • Do you strictly respect work and professional ethics?

Having given five affirmative answers suggests that the application forms are looking forward to your details.

WHO

The most successful graduates from the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana can apply for both postgraduate studies at their home faculty and studies at the world’s most prestigious universities, such as Harvard and Yale.

Detailed criteria can are available in the
Rules for granting the Parus Foundation scholarship.
