Czech Republic announces scholarships and Erasmus+ grants

The Czech government and academic institutions have announced various scholarship opportunities for the 2027 academic cycle.

Under the Erasmus+ program, special grants are available for students facing economic hardships, such as those receiving social scholarships or child benefits. Additionally, students with children or dependents, as well as those with physical, mental, or health disabilities, may apply for increased monthly stipends to cover specific additional costs. Applications must be submitted to the relevant department at least one month before the planned mobility begins.

Furthermore, the Czech government is offering scholarships to citizens from selected developing countries to support studies at public universities in the Czech Republic. This initiative, part of the foreign development cooperation strategy, is a collaboration between the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Health. For the 2027/2028 academic year, eligible countries include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus (democratic opposition), Ethiopia, Gabon, Mauritania, Zambia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Palestine, Guatemala, and Honduras. Programs are offered in both Czech and English, including preparatory language courses for certain master's programs.
