Slovakia's Ministry of Education runs a scholarship for talented international students that is open to applicants from anywhere in the world. It pays for full-time study at a Slovak higher education institution in a bachelor's, combined bachelor-master or master's programme that falls under the country's SK RIS3 smart specialisation strategy. A test score decides it: SAT of at least 1100 points, or an average percentile of at least 63 in the SCIO tests.
