This year, 3,324 people applied for the Vladimir Potanin Foundation scholarship program. Of these, 1998 were allowed to compete in the second round and 500 received an award, including our 6 students. The Foundation likes to spread the money around the disciplines, with no one subject receiving more than 6.8% of the total available. The winners are ultimately chosen by the Director Oksana Oracheva, who judges candidates on their academic worthiness, but also on whether they are well-rounded individuals. The successful applicants will receive ₽20,000 (€270) per calendar month for the duration of their Masters program this year.
