News from companies: Scholarships for athletes and students practicing sports at the only international hybrid high school in Eastern Europe, located in Romania

Spark, the first international hybrid high school in Eastern Europe, located in Romania, offers 10 scholarships for athlete pupils, which are ideal for a flexible learning program that blends perfectly with training hours. High school students have the opportunity to choose which subjects they want to be thorough/to deepen, at their own pace, regardless of their location, the scholarship being active for the entire duration of the educational cycle.

An excellent opportunity for high school students practicing sports, including those in 11th grade: Spark scholarships cover between 30% and 100% of tuition fees for up to four years of high school (depending on when Spark courses start). Registration to obtain a Spark scholarship can be done throughout the year, and students can explore the scholarship options available on the school's website at the Scholarship for high school students practicing sports - SPARK section.

To be eligible to apply, they require a minimum B1 English level, provide proof of playing a sport at professional level, as well as a letter of recommendation from one of their coaches. The number and value of the scholarships awarded are established by the Scholarship Committee of Spark Hybrid International High School and are offered to candidates based on well-established and fairly applied criteria: proven sports excellence, English level, skills, financial details. The scholarship program of Spark Hybrid International School is open to young people over 13 years of age who meet the enrollment conditions, without discrimination of nationality, gender, sexual orientation, race, or religion.

"We’ve created these scholarships to support students who follow their dream, but at the same time want to continue their education at the highest level with an internationally accredited degree. Students have the opportunity to choose which subjects they want to study, enjoying a comprehensive curriculum that they can access anytime, anywhere. At the same time, Spark Hybrid International High School scholarships offer them multiple advantages, with the opportunity to learn in an international environment, to benefit from a global perspective, adapted to their needs, which opens the doors to any university”, explained Ruxandra Mercea, founder of Spark Hybrid High School.

Since the inauguration of Spark last year, 6 such scholarships have been offered to students who practice sports such as basketball, handball, volleyball, tennis, rugby, or horse riding. The first Spark scholarship winners are Lorenzo Diaconescu (basketball), Casiana Alexa (handball), Maria Alesia Știrbu (volleyball), Vanessa Nocaci (tennis), Ioachim Stetca (rugby) and Miruna Medeea Moroșanu (horse riding).
