Skoltech provides an internationally competitive
fellowship for every admitted M.Sc. student.
The fellowship includes tuition waiver, subsidized
housing, an assistantship, and medical insurance.
Skoltech encourages students from Russia and
around the world to apply. Applications are welcomed from students in the last

BSc, BA, or higher). Applicants must have received a degree in engineering,
mathematics, applied sciences, physics, chemistry, biology, or related fields;
