Study in Europe for at least 50% lower tuition fee

Did you know that European citizens, including Lithuanians, are entitled to study at any European University within European Union territory either free of charge of for at least 50% lower tuition fee compared to international students outside the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA)?

Some of my clients have already explored that advantage and were happy to share this with me. I, myself, was pleasantly surprised to learn the vast difference between tuition fees for EU students vs. non-EU students.

For example, in Netherlands, EU students pay an average of €700-€2,100 per academic year for undergraduate studies, while non-EU students can expect to pay between 6,000 – 15,000 EUR/year. This is because the government of Netherlands, like many other EU countries, provides funding for higher education for EU citizens as part of their commitment to the free movement of people and goods within the EU.

This means that students with Lithuanian heritage can save thousands of Euros on their education, making it more accessible and affordable for them.

In addition to the financial benefits, having Lithuanian citizenship by descent can also open other opportunities for students. For example, they may be eligible for scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial aid that are only available to citizens of EU. They may also have an easier time finding jobs and internships in Europe after graduation, as they will be considered a citizen of the EU country.

Most of European Universities have English-taught study programs for international students, which makes it easily accessible and requires no knowledge of local language.

You could be granted with Lithuanian citizenship without losing your existing citizenship if you have an ancestor of a Lithuanian origin.
