Scholarships and financial support for full-degree students at Charles University are generally organised by individual faculties. Most of them offer merit-based scholarships for outstanding students (after the first year of studies) or some other forms of tuition fee reductions. The exact amounts are always set by the internal regulations of the respective faculty. Therefore, we advise you to contact the faculty’s Admission Office directly with any further inquiries.

A general overview of the scholarships is available on the Study in Czechia or Study in Prague websites. Students and applicants are encouraged to obtain further scholarships via different means, such as educational organisations, private beneficiaries, foundations etc.
This scholarship is intended for international students whose repression in totalitarian, authoritarian, and restricted regimes anywhere in the world makes it difficult or even impossible to study. The purpose is to provide study opportunities to those who have been illegally denied the right to study and/or are oppressed by the state and local authorities. The VH scholarship does not cover the tuition fees but rather to helps with the living costs.
The allocated amount depends on the number of applicants, the allocated budget for the calendar year, and additional circumstances. Therefore, it is not possible to specify the amount granted to each student more precisely.
VHS can only be awarded to a student who has been admitted and enrolled to study at one of the faculties of Charles University.
A student who intends to apply for a scholarship will receive an application form from the faculty. The application must be accompanied by all the annexes as specified in the Rector's Directive in force (Article 3, points 6 and 7).
