These scholarships are funded by CEU alumni in order to increase the availability of an education at CEU and to promote the university's mission of training social and civic leaders. The number and the amount of CEU Alumni Scholarships awarded each year will depend on the overall merit of the applicants. In most cases, CEU Alumni Scholarships will be awarded to help cover the costs of living (previously, the amount of the scholarships varied between 1,000 and 2,500 USD per annum).
