SALT: Financial Support and Grants

One such program is SALT (Support for Advanced Learning and Training), operating under the umbrella of EU4Belarus. This European Union initiative provides support to Belarusian students, teachers, and scientists. Through SALT, individuals can access scholarships for study, financial assistance for language learning, grants for internships and research in EU countries, and mentorship for enrollment.
