Through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Czech Government is now accepting applications for the Czech Government Scholarships under the Government of the Czech Republic for the academic year 2025-2026. These represent an outstanding opportunity for students from developing countries pursuing higher studies in Europe. Targeted international students want to enroll at a public university in the Czech Republic at the Master’s or Doctoral level. Over 20,000 students from outside the country have been awarded these scholarships since 1950 through the Foreign Development Cooperation of the Czech Republic.
