The '100 Talents' Scholarship

The most gifted students study for free at ISM through the '100 Talents' program. The '100 Talents' scholarship covers the entire tuition fee and is awarded to high-achieving young individuals who have graduated from top-ranking schools, considering their motivation to study, annual grade average, school exams, and active involvement in community activities.

The tradition of providing free study opportunities at ISM for the most gifted young individuals who have graduated from top-ranking schools has been alive for almost a decade, so the '100 Talents' program will allow you to focus solely on academic advancement without worrying about financial commitments.

If you aim to receive the '100 Talents' scholarship, you can apply for it during ISM's early admission with a competitive score of 9.2. If you apply to ISM during regular or additional admission periods, the minimum competitive score required is 9.4*. A limited number of these scholarships are established annually**.

* The scores provided are preliminary and change annually depending on the results of the national exams of the current year.

**Scholarships are not cumulative, except for certain cases specified. nuolaidų tvarkoje

Thanks to the '100 Talents' program, students can focus on their academic development without worrying about financial obligations and allocate more time to pursue other activities. Instead of pondering how to cover the cost of their studies, they can dedicate more time to academic excellence or engaging in additional socially enriching activities. This program is particularly suitable for those who wish to spend their study years in Lithuania and study at a university known for its relatively strong academic programs within the Lithuanian context. For me, studying in Lithuania and at ISM University also meant that I could more easily balance my studies and work, and upon graduation, I found a professional field where I want to further specialize," - says Paulius Rauba, an ISM alum, participant of the '100 Talents' program, who is continuing his studies at Oxford.

The opportunity for free education emerged through the joint efforts of the business and ISM University communities. Each academic year, approximately 20 percent of the scholarships are established by patrons, while the university funds the remaining studies. Over the eleven years of the '100 Talents' program's existence, nearly 350 students have had the opportunity to pursue higher education at ISM University of Management and Economics for free.
