The competition for the scholarship established by the rectors of the University of Tartu, University of Latvia and Vilnius University has started again to promote the teaching and learning of the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian languages and cultures. The universities organise the scholarship competition in turn, and in the academic year 2023/24, the scholarship will be awarded by the University of Tartu. 

The scholarship competition is open for full-time students of any curricula at the University of Tartu, the University of Latvia and Vilnius University who know one of the Baltic countries' languages at least at C1 level and the other two at A2 level minimum. Short-term visiting students studying at the respective university in both the autumn and spring semesters of the current academic year are also eligible to apply. The amount of the annual scholarship is 2,000 euros. 

The competition is organised in three rounds: 

• the local written round on 8 January 2024,
