The Government of the Czech Republic
offers scholarships within the framework of its Foreign Development
Assistance in support of the study of foreign nationals from developing
countries at public institutions of higher education in the Czech Republic.
These so called Government Scholarships are
designed to cover the standard length of study:
1) in Bachelor/Master/Doctoral study
programmes plus one-year preparatory course of the Czech language(which
is combined with other field-specific training). Government scholarships of
this category are awarded to graduates from upper secondary schools, or
Bachelor's/Master's degree courses, as applicable, who can enrol only in
study programmes in which instruction is given in the Czech language. Depending
on the subject area, applicants are normally required to sit entrance
examinations at the higher education institution concerned. Successful passing
of entrance examinations constitutes a precondition for the scholarship
award;
or
2) in follow-up Master study programmes or Doctoral
study programmes. Government scholarships of this category are awarded
to graduates of Bachelor or Master study programmes, respectively, who enrol in
study programmes with instruction in the English
language.
The scholarships are
intented solely to promote the studies of adults who are foreign nationals from
developing third countries in need. Neither a citizen of the Czech Republic,
nor a citizen of a member state of the European Union, nor any other
foreign national with a permit to permanent residence on
the territory of the Czech Republic may therefore be granted this type
of scholarship. Furthermore, the scholarships may not be granted to
persons under 18 years of age. (The applicants have to turn 18 as of
1 September of the year when they commence studies in the Czech
Republic at the latest.)
