According to the press release, the support is granted to bring in more
international students and attract gifted young people from abroad to study in
Lithuania.
"We live in a global world, therefore, should do everything to promote

more international. Lithuania's universities and colleges improve their
visibility on the global arena of studies, which is extremely important to
encourage more talented foreign students to choose Lithuania to study,"
