There are many scholarship opportunities for international students in the Czech Republic.
The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Czech Republic annually offers scholarships to foreign nationals within the framework of intergovernmental exchange programmes arranged with a number of countries.
These scholarships can only be granted to candidates officially recommended by the appropriate authorities in the eligible countries, which collect the applications, set the closing date for applications, and organize the selection procedure.
The scholarship amounts to CZK 9,000 per month for those who do not hold a Master's degree or equivalent and CZK 9,500 per month for holders of a Master's degree or equivalent, unless they enrol in another Bachelor's or Master's degree programme in the Czech Republic.
Scholarship-holders are exempted from tuition fees. The scholarship has to be collected in person at the appropriate department of the host university, unless the host institution (university) stipulates otherwise.
The closing dates for applications are set by the appropriate authorities in the eligible countries; the deadlines differ in individual countries, but are usually fixed for the beginning of the calendar year concerned in order to meet the subsequent schedule of admission procedure.
