Title
Think Scholarships ? Think EastChance.com !
Description
Eastchance has been started by two East European students with a genuine interest in doing more for themselves and their CVs than just passing exams at the university. With no other way to travel outside our home country but scholarships and grants, we slowly discovered how well-guarded is in Eastern Europe the information about such opportunities. We have gathered over time a relevant amount of data about events and opportunities and have realized from personal experience how useful and fun these can be. We thought we should do something useful for other students just like us, who might just not be as lucky as we were when we first ran into such information a few years ago.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first site providing such information especially targeted to students from Central and Eastern Europe. The events listed contain some form of financial aid directly targeted to this category of students, or to a larger one, in which CEE students are included. Why is this targeting necessary? Well, did you ever try to use a search engine to dig after such events? We did, and did, and did…. They never return relevant answers. When you finally get some, they either refer to conferences with a participation fee of USD 500, or to scholarships for which only Taiwanese students are eligible. So, how about us? Hope this site helps… We thought it was badly needed.
The site is not run for profit; the banners you see are aimed at helping us recover the small investment needed to start this site. We had the idea sometime in the beginning of 2000; due to the work involved, the first version of the site went on-line towards the end of August, same year.
