The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Czech Republic (hereafter referred to as the “Ministry”) annually offers fully-funded scholarships to developing countries, pursuant to bilateral intergovernmental or departmental agreements concluded with a number of countries.
Its length usually ranges from 2 to 10 months depending upon the agreement made by the Czech government and the foreign government concerned that specifies also the categories of eligible recipients.
Czech Republic Government Scholarships holders may be admitted for research visits (i.e. either attending non-degree courses of their choice, or pursuing an independent research activity, depending on their qualifications and preferences), or for study visits, when they enroll in a standard study programme for the period of scholarship specified in the appropriate intergovernmental/departmental agreement.
Since the courses they follow in the Czech Republic do not lead to the award of a degree, the universities concerned usually do not require them to sit entrance examinations.
Romania, Russia, and Ukraine can apply for these Czech Republic government scholarships.
The Scholarships are intended solely to promote the study of adults of foreign nationality from the eligible third countries listed below. Neither a national of the Czech Republic, nor a national of a Member State of the European Union, nor any other foreign national who has a permanent residence permit on the territory of the Czech Republic can, therefore, receive such a scholarship. In addition, scholarships cannot be awarded to children under 18 years. (Applicants must be 18 years old on September 1 of the year when they begin their studies in the Czech Republic.)
