Funding

Students of our programmes can take advantage of several possibilities offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences of gaining a scholarship that can help them to finance their studies:

'FSV UK SCHOLARS' Programme

This scholarship is directly offered and administered by Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University with a contribution from the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The scholarship is intended to support the living costs of students in a demonstrably difficult financial situation.

The FSV UK Scholars Programme is available for any degree programme student at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University in both Bachelor and Master programmes that meets the conditions. The scholarship is administered as a one-time lump-sum payment on a year-by-year basis. Usually, the scholarship is provided to 8-10 awardees per year. The exact amount of scholarship can differ based on the number of supported students. Most often, it is about CZK 75 000 (approx. EUR 3 000). Students need to apply for this scholarship directly to the International Office. The deadline for applications is April 30th.

You can find detailed information and how to apply for the scholarship here.

MERITS BASED SCHOLARSHIPS

This scholarship is offered to students with excellent study results each year, and it is administered automatically by the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University.

The scholarship is paid out in November or December retrospectively for the previous academic year in the form of a one-time lump-sum payment. All students (Czech and English programmes together) who met the scholarship´s criteria are considered for the scholarship awarding. The students are divided into five subgroups according to Institutes. The predefined percentage of students with the best study results within each of these sub-groups is awarded the scholarship. The entire sum of scholarship money for excellent study results will be distributed evenly among all the selected students within the sub-groups. The amount of scholarship can be determined linearly according to study results. The Dean will stipulate the minimum and maximum amount of scholarship and the percentage of students eligible for the scholarship upon the statement obtained from the academic senate.

ACCOMMODATION BURSARY

A basic accommodation bursary is awarded by the Rector of Charles University to all students upon application unless they are subject to an obstacle to granting a bursary, except for students to whom an increased bursary has already been awarded. An increased accommodation bursary is awarded by the Rector based on an application for assessment of the social situation of the student’s household, in accordance with applicable legislation.

The bursary is usually paid in two categories, at two separate rates. The detailed award criteria are set out in a Rector’s directive. The bursary is paid by the Rector’s Office, by way of a non-cash payment to the student’s account. This bursary is paid over ten months in an academic year to a student enrolled in a bachelor’s or master’s programme, and during the whole academic year to a doctoral student. Where a student is enrolled in several programmes of study, this bursary may be awarded and paid only once for the given period.
