Overview
The Czech Fulbright postgraduate programme supports Czech citizens undertaking Master's- or PhD-level study or research in the United States. The currently relevant visiting student researcher route supports an independent research project for four to nine months.
Complete scholarship details
The grant supports a four-to-nine-month research stay in the United States. Official benefits include a living-cost stipend based on local costs, a contribution toward a return flight, and basic programme health insurance. Tuition support of up to USD 15,000 applies only to the degree category, not the visiting research route.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must be Czech citizens, hold at least a completed bachelor's degree by the deadline, and have very good English. Visiting student researchers must have an invitation from a U.S. host institution specifying the proposed stay dates and any fees. The programme excludes clinical medicine, MBA and LLM programmes. The Fulbright Commission also applies its one-application-per-selection-cycle rule.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
The official Fulbright Czech page links the 2027–2028 online application and states the visiting student researcher deadline is 1 February, inclusive, with four-to-nine-month stays. The degree/non-degree deadline of 1 September has already passed for this cycle, so this record is specifically for the visiting research route. No timezone is stated; only deadline_date is stored.
