Corporate Scholarships for the 2026/2027 Academic Year

A corporate scholarship is the most direct path to your first employment: the company pays you a monthly scholarship during your studies, provides work placement and mentorship, and upon graduation you are typically offered a job. Below we have compiled current calls from Slovenian employers that match Academia's study programmes — from short-cycle degree to university-level programmes.

The central official list of corporate scholarships is the SRIPS Fund Exchange, which is updated throughout the year — most calls are published in August and September, so check it again before the start of the academic year.

Tip: A qualification title without the suffix (VS) or (UN) — for example 'engineer of mechanical engineering', 'economist' or 'engineer of informatics' — in the Exchange means precisely the short-cycle degree level, i.e. programmes such as those delivered at Academia.

In addition to employers, scholarships are also offered by municipalities — typically in September and October:

• Municipal scholarships for students are also offered by MO Ptuj (20 scholarships), MO Novo mesto (€240/month), MO Celje (new corporate scholarships from 2025), MO Koper and MO Velenje — check your municipality's calls in autumn.

Note: In municipal corporate calls, the wording 'undergraduate study' does not always include short-cycle degree students — before applying, explicitly verify eligibility with the municipality.

We will continue to update the list. If you have not yet found a call for your programme, check the SRIPS Exchange — employers publish new scholarships right up until the start of the academic year — or simply ask the company where you would like to work about a corporate scholarship yourself.
