JetBrains Foundation to discontinue new scholarships at Constructor University starting in 2027

As JetBrains’ business direction evolves, we’re reviewing how our educational initiatives align with our priorities. As part of this shift, we’ve made the difficult decision to stop offering new scholarships at Constructor University.

We know this is disappointing news, especially if you were preparing to apply or have already submitted an application. We’re sorry for the uncertainty this brings to your plans.

Our commitments to current students remain unchanged. All existing Software, Data and Technology (SDT) and Advanced Software Technology (AST) scholarship recipients will retain the benefits covered by their scholarship agreements until graduation. JetBrains experts will also continue their teaching involvement in the SDT and AST programs for current scholarship students.

Our commitment to supporting talented young people through education continues. Our Math, AI, and Coding Clubs, Youth Coding and Math Challenges will continue as planned, along with the upcoming ACTS 2027.1 training camp.

We’ll also share an update on admissions and scholarship opportunities at Neapolis University Pafos on February 1, 2027.

We’re grateful to all the students, families, teachers, and coaches who have placed their trust in our programs. We understand how important clear and honest communication is, especially during times of change, and we’ll continue sharing updates as more information becomes available.
