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:

Development Scholarship

Charles University directly administers these university scholarships for students from developing and transition countries.

The Development Scholarships are available for any degree programme at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University. The scholarship is administered as a one-time lump-sum payment to selected students to support the student´s basic living costs. Usually, we provide 6 to 8 scholarship per year across all of our fee-based programmes. The exact amount of scholarship can differ based on the number of supported students. Usually, it is about CZK 75 000 (approx. EUR 3 000). The scholarship is provided on a year-by-year basis. The deadline for applications is late April.

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

Merit Scholarship

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.
