Scholarships and opportunities

• The international department's 'Scholarships, competitions, grants' page lists announcements such as the StudRussia contest for international students, government scholarship programmes of Mongolia, Vietnam, Colombia and Indonesia, and the Russian President's scholarship for study abroad; the page does not say which are open to international applicants.

Student life and services

• Center for Support of Foreign Students (2 Kulakova Ave., building 9, room 117, Stavropol; [email protected]) and the Visa and Registration Department (room 118; [email protected]). There is also an NCFU Union of Foreign Students.

Practical information

• for international students

  If a visa is needed, the invitation must come from the chosen university; it takes about 35 days at the Stavropol migration authority and requires a passport copy, an education document copy and a completed form. One cannot get an invitation from one university and study at another.

• for international students

  The medical insurance page explains that foreigners in Russia get only first aid and emergency care for free; treatment in state clinics requires an insurance policy, so foreign students need insurance covering planned treatment.
