BT rewards ambition and passion for agriculture with 10 annual scholarships for future farmers from six university centers across the country: Iasi, Cluj, Bucuresti, Constanta, Craiova, Timisoara.

This is the 4th consecutive year that BT is offering these scholarships, and the selection criteria are:

- Have strong grades and be 2nd- or 3rd-year students at one of the agricultural sciences faculties in the six university centers

- Want to work on a farm after graduating

- Submit their CV

Once these conditions are met, students take part in an interview, after which the winners are selected.

Among the students who were winners in previous years, we spoke with Popescu Cosmin and Fagaras Vasile Valentin, two of the scholarship recipients, about what this opportunity means to them, and here’s what we learned:

“This support has helped me a great deal to continue my studies and achieve good results, and it has shown me that I should have more confidence in myself to be able to accomplish meaningful things.” - Popescu Viorel Cosmin – master’s student at the University of Craiova, Faculty of Agronomy, majoring in Consultancy and Management in Agriculture

“My experience over the years collaborating with Banca Transilvania has been, and will remain, unique, because they managed to motivate me and helped me prove to myself that I can do much more. Being awarded this scholarship by Banca Transilvania has greatly helped me develop professionally, giving me the chance to work with highly trained people in agriculture. I believe what contributed most to my motivation and development was the way the bank engaged with me—particularly how they helped me interact with the farms where I interned and how they helped me gain a clearer, more confident view of my specialism, so I can highlight my strengths as much as possible.” - Bicu Claudiu Alexandru - master’s student at the University of Craiova, Faculty of Agronomy, majoring in Environmental Protection in Agriculture

Banca Transilvania has a dedicated Agribusiness department for farmers. Through it, we support farmers with products for their day-to-day operations, as well as solutions that help them develop their farms.
