Tuition fee scholarship.

Any applicant or student may apply, provided they have been accepted into a programme at the European Research University or a University of London programme offered through Recognised Teaching Centre in Ostrava operated by the European Research University. Information on whether a specific programme is part of the scholarship scheme is available for each programme at its profile.

Applications are submitted online, with all relevant supporting documentation. To complete the online application, a unique Student ID is required, which is provided to each accepted applicant, along with further information and the decision on their admission to a programme that is part of the scholarship scheme. For current students, the Student ID is valid throughout their studies.

Applications for scholarships for the academic year must be submitted by the end of May of the preceding academic year. For newly admitted students, applications must be submitted within 21 days of receiving the admission decision.

The scholarship can cover the full tuition fee or part of it. The award is between 50% and 100% of the tuition fee for the relevant academic year. Scholarships are available for tuition in specific programmes at the European Research University, as well as in programmes at the University of London’s Recognised Teaching Centre operated by the university. The scholarship can also be applied to the tuition fees set directly by the University of London. It may be combined with other ERUNI scholarships or third-party scholarship schemes.

It is important to note that there is no legal entitlement to a Research Scholarship, and the decision-making process, as well as the decision itself, lies solely within the competence of the PRO BUDOUCNOST Endowment Fund. There is no appeal process against the decision, and the decision need not be justified. The assessment is confidential and considered an internal document. Scholarships may be withdrawn or reduced in the event of disciplinary violations or other serious or repeated misconduct. The scholarship will be revoked immediately if the student is found to have significant unauthorised absences or if there are serious doubts about the timely completion of their studies within the standard duration. The scholarship may also be revoked if it harms the reputation of the Endowment Fund, the ERUNI, or the PRIGO Group.

The scholarship decision will be made within 30 days of submitting the application.

The scholarship is awarded for the following academic year.
