Masaryk University opened a new scholarship programme in 2021, providing financial support of 100,000 CZK (circa € 4,000) to students enrolled in bachelor's and master's full-time programmes taught in languages other than Czech and coming from developing countries or countries undergoing an economic transformation.
The new scholarship fund is designed to help students with outstanding academic performance cover their first year of studies at MU and help them transition to life in a different country. This scholarship will not cover your entire studies, just the first year. Please note that this scholarship is highly competitive because we offer only about 20 scholarships annually, and there is a high demand from the students.
The following information and documents are required in the online application:

Evaluation criteria
Where should I submit my application?
The application must be submitted through the ISOIS system.
How can I log into the ISOIS system?
The ISOIS system requires a UČO number – you will obtain this unique number when you get admitted into a study program at Masaryk University.
However, you can register into the ISOIS with your e-mail account before the admittance and apply this way. In the ISOIS, click on "apply", and an error message will pop up and offer you a link where you can register.
What is a UČO number?
A UČO number is a unique personal identification number for accessing MU information systems. You will obtain this unique number when you get admitted into a study program at Masaryk University.
I finished my first year of studies. May I apply?
No, this scholarship is offered only to students in their first year (1st or 2nd semester).
I finished my first semester at MU. May I apply for this scholarship?
Yes, you can, but only if you are going to be in the second semester at the time of disbursement of the scholarship (the next autumn semester).
My previous university does not provide GPA; what should I do?
If your university does not provide GPA, upload a Transcript of records with a visible grade average from your studies with an explanation of your local grading system. Also, provide us with an additional document with a converted GPA to the US scale of GPA (1.0 – 4.0).
I am not sure if I am eligible to apply for this scholarship.
The scholarship is solely intended for citizens from developing countries as defined by the OECD. Please note that it is available only to students from countries labelled "Least developed countries", "Low income countries" and "Lower middle income countries".
Students from "Upper-middle-income countries" are not eligible. See this table for reference.
You should also not be eligible for the scholarship if you already receive other forms of financial support for your studies (e.g. governmental grants, scholarships for students from particular countries).
Will I receive the confirmation of the scholarship? Can I use it for my visa application?
Yes, you will be provided with the official scholarship confirmation (in Czech), and you can submit the confirmation along with your visa application.
When can I expect the result of my application?
We will contact all students and inform them whether they have been accepted or not after the call for applications closes. The results are usually available in May or June.
I received the scholarship, but I will defer my studies to spring – will I still receive the scholarship after my arrival?
Yes, you will receive the scholarship if you defer your admission to spring intake.
