We are a group of professors from Smolny, Shaninka, Higher School of Economics, and other institutions who have founded the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences (FLAS) in Montenegro — a new international program built on the Liberal Arts and Sciences model.
To make our program accessible, and with the support of our partners Shanin Foundation, we are creating a Scholarship Fund that will allow talented students to continue their education without ideological pressure or censorship. With a cost of €5,000 per student per year, the fund will cover 25% to 100% of tuition depending on the nominated student’s knowledge, motivation, and personal circumstances.
Our goal is to keep free, independent, and progressive education alive for students who share our values but can no longer study freely in their home countries due to state restrictions. We aim to help them become part of a vibrant international community, learning and exchanging ideas across borders.
Any contribution — large or small — brings us closer to supporting students who need it most.
Thank you for standing with us.
