Vitaliy Zinoviev, the public official of the Strategic Initiatives Agency to Promote New Projects in Novgorod Region, said that for three years the RF government would pay for studying of three thousand Russian students at the best foreign universities. The concept of the program was worked out by the Agency. 

The subsidies for studying will be given on master and postgraduate programs.  On  completing the program, the graduate must work in Russia. Those who will not return must compensate all the expenses for education and will pay twice the amount of this sum of money (nearly 1500000 rubles). The president of Russia Vladimir Putin ordered to calculate the money in the federal budget and not to raise the charges. 

The participants could choose one of four areas:

• High-Tech Companies
• Management in Higher Education and Science
•  Central and Local Authorities
•  Welfare Institutions (Including Healthcare Institutions).
