Varna University of Management (VUM) announces the launch of its “10% Early Bird Discount” campaign, aimed at providing additional encouragement to students completing secondary education in Bulgaria to take the next important step in their academic journey at home.

The campaign is valid for the September intake of the 2026/2027 academic year and offers a 10% discount on the first semester tuition fee for prospective students who apply for early admission by 1 May 2026 and are admitted to VUM.

The discount is independent of the applicant’s secondary school GPA and entrance exam results. It can be combined with other scholarships regulated in the official Scholarships and Tuition Fees Regulations of Varna University of Management. In this way, applicants who apply by May 1 are provided with optimal financial support.

The initiative targets 12th-grade students from Bulgarian secondary schools who plan to continue their education in a bachelor’s degree programme at VUM and apply directly to the university. After submitting the required documents and an academic transcript, applicants receive a conditional offer, with the admission process being finalised upon graduation.

“With the early admission campaign, we aim to send a clear message to Bulgarian students that high-quality higher education and an international academic environment can be found in Bulgaria as well. Our goal is to support young people in one of the most important decisions of their lives and to show them that they can build a successful future here,” commented Assoc. Prof. Todor Radev, PhD, President of Varna University of Management.

Through this initiative, VUM reaffirms its commitment to the development of young talent in the country and continues its consistent efforts to encourage Bulgarian students to stay, grow, and realise their professional potential in Bulgaria.
