HOW TO APPLY:
HOW THE APPLICATION IS ASSESSED:
The scholarship programme is open to students enrolled in Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degree programmes at Taiwanese universities or fresh graduates.
Citizens of Taiwan enrolled in Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degree programmes at the Czech public institutions of higher education may also apply for the scholarship.
The amount of the scholarship varies according to the level of education achieved by the applicant:
The scholarship is intended to cover a part of the stay-related expenses in the Czech Republic, which the scholarship-holders reimburse themselves. Scholarship-holders may apply for lodging at student dormitories and can take meals at student catering facilities. Scholarship-holders are exempted from tuition fees. A substantial part of the scholarship is a subsidy provided by the MEYS directly to the host faculty to cover the tuition itself.
PAYMENT OF SCHOLARSHIP:
The scholarship will be paid by the host faculty/university upon arrival and registration of the scholarship-holder at the faculty. The schedule and method of payment may vary – if you wish to learn more about the method of payment, please contact the prospective host faculty/university directly.
MEDICAL CARE:
Medical care for EU/EEA citizens and citizens of Switzerland and of the United Kingdom who are properly insured in their home countries is provided in compliance with the European Parliament and Council (EC) Regulation No. 883/2004, as last amended, and its implementing Regulation No. 987/2009, as amended by Regulation No. 465/2012 - detailed information is available on the website of the Health Insurance Bureau. Please note that the expenses for repatriation are not covered by the provisions of the aforementioned EU Regulations, and it is therefore advisable to obtain an insurance policy to this end. As regards citizens of other countries than EU/EEA countries, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, the admitted applicants are required to arrange travel medical insurance covering the expenses for comprehensive medical care for the entire period of their stay in the Czech Republic (and covering also the expenses related to repatriation for medical reasons). Detailed information on the minimum scope of the compulsory medical insurance is available on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior; it can be provided also by the consular section of the CECO.
The MEYS does not reimburse travel expenses.
