The mission of Roma Education Fund (REF) is to contribute to closing the gap in educational outcomes between Roma and non-Roma.
The REF Network includes four legally separate foundations that have been established in Switzerland (2005), Hungary (2006), Romania (2009), Slovakia (2014), Serbia (2019).
How does REF achieve its mission?
Grants
REF provides grants to civil society and public institutions to implement education projects for:
• expanding Roma children's access to quality early childhood education and care.
• improving primary education outcomes for Roma children ages 6-14.
• boosting academic performance and graduation rates from secondary education for Roma pupils.
• improving graduation rates and strengthening the identity of Roma students in tertiary education
• enhancing employment prospects for young Roma and adults through second chance programs for adult education and training
Tertiary education scholarships
REF provides merit-based, open competition academic scholarships for Roma students pursuing Bachelor, Master or Doctorate degrees at state-accredited universities.
Advocacy and research
REF promotes evidence-based models of good practice and advocates for innovative methodologies, curriculum reform and renewed policies targeting Roma students.
External support
REF implements large-scale projects funded by European Structural Funds, EU Instruments for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA), EEA/Norway Grants and the German Development (KfW) to amplify its mission.
