The Rotalia Foundation has been one of the biggest supporters of higher education for Estonian students. We’ve supported Estonian students with scholarships since 1988, and over the years the number of scholarships we’ve awarded has grown from 20 to 50 scholarships per year, and the scholarship amount increasing from €1000 to €2000.

Bruno and Helge Laane, and Herbert Rebassoo each have special scholarships named after them for the contributions they’ve made to the Rotalia Foundation.

For the current year, we are awarding 50 scholarships at €2000 each.
