Former political prisoners and Belarusians affected by repression can receive financial support for education under the EU-funded EU4Belarus — SALT programme.

“The support is intended for Belarusians who have lost the opportunity to work or continue their education as a result of political persecution,” Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s Office reports.

The programme can cover up to €10,000 for vocational training, retraining, professional development, language courses, examinations and the recognition of educational qualifications.

Applicants must provide evidence of repression and prepare a training plan explaining how it will contribute to their professional development. Educational services must be provided by organisations based in the EU.

Applications can be submitted via eu4belarus.info until October 31, 2026.
