A comparative study of scholarship schemes for disadvantaged ethnic and social groups of students

Summary/Abstract: Vera Messing and Emília Molnár investigated the target population and the operation of two scholarship programs. The “Roma” scholarship aims at supporting Roma students while the “Útravaló” scholarship scheme is targeted at socially disadvantaged students. The research work involved both a survey of students and parents, and qualitative background research of the schools and the social environment. The findings showed that the composition of the student population of both scholarship schemes is fairly similar while the type of services provided by the two programs is rather different. The study highlights those mechanisms that result in the fact that Roma children generally have less access to high quality services than their non-Roma peers.
