About the Scholarship/Programme

The Government of the Czech Republic offers scholarships to citizens of selected developing countries to study at public higher education institutions in the Czech Republic.

The programme is administered through cooperation between the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with implementation support from the Czech National Agency for International Education and Research.

For the 2027/2028 academic year, the official call is open from 21 August to 30 September 2026.

The scholarship supports selected full-time study programmes. For English-medium study, the current call covers selected two-year follow-up Master’s programmes and selected three- to four-year Doctoral programmes.

For eligible applicants from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Ukraine and Belarus (democratic forces), the programme also offers selected Czech-medium follow-up Master’s programmes preceded by a one-year Czech language and preparatory course.

The scholarship is tied to the specific programme and standard study period for which it is awarded.

Final Note from AK Travels LTD

The Czech Government Scholarships 2027/2028 are genuine government-funded opportunities, but eligibility is not open to all nationalities.

For this academic year, the Czech Government has specifically listed 13 eligible country entries covering 12 countries, with Belarus listed as “democratic forces.”

The programme supports selected Master’s and Doctoral studies in English, while selected applicants from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Ukraine and Belarus may also access designated Czech-medium Master’s routes with a one-year Czech language and preparatory course.

The current scholarship amount is CZK 16,000 per month for Bachelor’s/follow-up Master’s students and CZK 17,000 per month for Doctoral students. Applicants should understand that this is a monthly scholarship rather than a separate payment covering every expense. The official guidelines state that accommodation, food and public transport are paid from the scholarship, while international travel to and from Czechia is the student’s or nominating party’s responsibility.

For the 2027/2028 intake, applications open on 21 August 2026 and close on 30 September 2026.

Applicants should first confirm their nationality, identify an eligible programme, complete the online application and mandatory tests, and prepare a strong motivation letter explaining both their study plans and how the proposed education will benefit their home country.
