Applications are now open for the Government of the Czech Republic Masters and Doctoral Scholarship for Foreign Students 2023-2024. 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 listed below at public institutions of higher education in the Czech Republic.
The Czech Republic provides scholarships for studies pursued both in the Czech language (in follow-up Master’s and Doctoral study programs) and in the English terminology (in follow-up Master’s and Doctoral study programs).
Scholarships for studies in the Czech language are granted, taking into account the list of recommended areas of study, updated according to the needs of specific countries, and also with regard to ongoing development cooperation projects.
Candidates may also receive funding for a one-year preparatory and linguistic course. Scholarships for study programmes in the English language are granted only in the selected study programmes.
