Scholarships and Fees

There are several ways to secure a scholarship, and it’s entirely up to you which one you choose – whichever one you deem more suitable for your needs and capabilities. The most basic differentiation lies in the institution that provides the scholarship – whether it’s the university you will be attending or an external organisation.

Scholarships offered by universities

You should be aware that Czech universities generally do not offer full scholarships as the study programmes are already subsidised by the government in order to provide affordable tuition fees. Generally, scholarships are offered as additional support to students.
