Scholarship recipients supported million CZK distributed through Scholarship universities attended by Scholarship recipients Scholarship recipients supported million CZK distributed through Scholarship universities attended by Scholarship recipients During my undergraduate studies in the Czech Republic, I became interested in military topics, especially ongoing armed conflicts, and dreamed of a career in the defense sector.

Although I studied political science, I tried to choose subjects that would be at least somewhat close to that, and I wrote my bachelor’s thesis on the dynamics of Czech military modernization. Thanks to the Scholarship program, my dream of studying literature in England came true which I followed up with a master's degree with a focus on Gender, Sexuality and Culture.

Receiving this scholarship does not only mean financial support but also a friendly support in difficult situations and the opportunity to belong to an amazing community.

Can I count on the support of the Bakala Foundation beyond the first academic year? Does the Bakala Foundation scholarship cover all the costs associated with the study program or do I have to rely on other sources of funding? Is the award of the scholarship associated with any obligations?

Do you prefer students who apply to any specific study fields over others? How is funding distributed from the Foundation? How will the scholarship be disbursed?

How much scholarship money will I get and when will I know the exact amount? If I submit the application way ahead of the deadline, will that increase my chances of getting a scholarship? Didn't find what you were looking for?
