Opportunities from Study in Czechia / Czech Government Development Scholarships

The Czech Government’s foreign development cooperation scholarship call supports the standard duration of selected full-time English-taught follow-up master’s and doctoral programmes. Current support is CZK 16,000 per month for follow-up master’s students and CZK 24,960 per month for doctoral students. Tuition fees are paid by the Czech Government on behalf of scholarship holders, and health care is provided under the programme’s published Ministry of Health conditions. Accommodation, meals and public transport are paid by the scholarship holder from the stipend; travel to and from the Czech Republic is not reimbursed by the Ministry of Education.

The 2027–2028 call explicitly includes citizens of Ethiopia. Applicants for a follow-up master’s scholarship must have completed a bachelor’s degree; doctoral applicants must have completed a master’s degree. Applicants for English-taught study must complete the online English-language test and the general academic aptitude test. Czech citizens, EU citizens and other foreign nationals with permanent residence in the Czech Republic are not eligible under this programme. The current call page also states that eligible nationals applying under this call must not be enrolled at a Czech university at the time they submit the application.
