According to the press release, the support is granted to bring in more international students and attract gifted young people from abroad to study in Lithuania.

Lithuania’s universities and colleges improve their visibility on the global arena of studies, which is extremely important to encourage more talented foreign students to choose Lithuania to study,” Education and Science Minister Jurgita Petrauskienė said in a press release.
