More insights
Travel expenses to and from the Czech Republic are the student’s responsibility or that of the nominating body.
Additional health services beyond standard care must be paid by the student. If the student exceeds the official duration of the programme or interrupts their studies, they will no longer be covered by the scholarship.
If a scholarship holder exceeds the regular period of study and/or the period for which the scholarship has been granted to him/her, he or she shall lose the status of a government scholarship holder.
Scholarship payments may be terminated if a student discontinues or is expelled from studies, provides false information during the application, fails to attend required medical checks or secure insurance, or does not comply with academic obligations.
