Scholarship for Roma
July 1st, 2007 by robertnemeth
The Hungarian police provides scholarships for young Roma. This year, they sign the contract with six of them, since 2000, they have signed 37 contracts. There are police high schools in country, who finishes it can become a policeman. Yearly 2-3 Roma get into these high schools.
Signing the contract does not necessary mean that they have to become policemen. But, of course, it makes it easier. It is not known, how many of them becomes finally a policeman, since it is not allowed to do such registrations.
Those who sign this contract receive some financial support from the police, and they can apply for stipends and for additional benefits after the first year, if their average is above 3.5 (in Hungary, 1 is the failing grade, 5 is the best).
Besides this, the government organizes free camps and courses. There are 40 places yearly, and 70 per cent of the participants apply successfully to the police high schools or to the College of Police Officers.
