Russia’s Higher School of Economics to offer free tuition to members of the BARS combat reserve and drone troops who serve a year under contract

Meduza reports that Moscow's Higher School of Economics is offering free tuition to anyone who completes a year of military service with the BARS volunteer unit or Russia's drone forces. The program works like this: applicants enroll in a continuing education program immediately after signing their military contract, then transfer to a bachelor's or master's degree program once that year ends. The university also targets students who narrowly missed qualifying for a state-funded tuition spot.
