Merits Based Scholarships
This scholarship is offered to students with excellent study results each year, and it is administered automatically by the Faculty.
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.

OTHER SCHOLARSHIPS (NOT ADMINISTERED BY THE FACULTY)
We encourage all students to search and apply for any external scholarship or funding of their choice. The International Office can provide such students with supporting documents if needed once the student is accepted for the studies.
We have good experience with the Visegrad scholarship administered by International Visegrad Fund for students from the Visegrad group and partner countries.
Another organization is The Fullbright Commission, which offers scholarships to US students who want to study and conduct research at Czech universities. Advanced graduate and postgraduate students are preferred.
