Academic Degree Level

The Slovak Government NSP Scholarships for 2025/2026 (Fully Funded) are offered for Master’s and PhD programs at universities in Slovakia.

Advantages

Financial Aid Amounts and Accommodation Arrangements

  • The scholarship aims to compensate the living expenses of international scholarship recipients, namely the expenditures associated with residing in Slovakia (such as food and accommodation), during their academic, research, creative, or teaching tenure at universities and research institutions in Slovakia.
  • Scholarship recipients whose stay in Slovakia exceeds 90 days and who are citizens of non-European Union, non-European Economic Area, and non-Swiss countries, requiring a temporary residence permit, must provide the foreign police office with confirmation of the absence of any communicable disease posing a public health risk within 30 days of receiving the temporary residence permit.
  • Scholarship recipients will be compensated for medical examination and confirmation issuance fees, up to €250 per recipient, upon submission of the original invoice from the individual medical institution to SAIA, n. o., in Bratislava.
  • Also, scholarship recipients will receive a list of proficient medical facilities from the relevant foreign police offices in Slovakia. Scholarship recipients must submit the invoice to SAIA, n. o., in Bratislava before the deadline for the final report; failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of their reimbursement rights.

  • Your host institution can assist you in locating lodgings and navigating the processes for arriving and residing in Slovakia. You are capable of managing this independently.

Medical Assessment for Extended Residences

  • Scholarship recipients residing for over 90 days and originating from outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland may require a temporary residence permit. A medical examination is necessary to demonstrate the absence of diseases that may pose a public health danger. The scholarship program will reimburse the examination fee (up to €250) upon submission of receipts.

Travel Funding

  • Students and doctoral candidates may apply for a travel stipend in addition to the grant.
  • This is a singular payment determined by the distance from your residence to your accommodation in Slovakia. A distance calculator is available on the program’s website to estimate the quantity.

Qualified Nationalities

  • This grant is available to international students of all nations.

Criteria for Eligibility

Who is eligible to apply for the National Scholarship Programme of Slovakia?

  • Master’s students must be enrolled at an institution outside Slovakia, have completed a minimum of 2.5 years of study, and be admitted into a mobility program at a Slovak university for either 1-2 semesters or 1-3 trimesters.
  • PhD candidates: Must be enrolled in a program outside Slovakia and have secured acceptance for a research residency at an accredited Slovak institution (1-10 months).
  • University educators, researchers, and artists must receive an invitation from a recognized research institution in Slovakia for a teaching, research, or artistic residency lasting between 1 to 10 months.

Submitting a new application for the scholarship:

  • For re-application to a scholarship, approval is contingent upon a minimum interval of two years having elapsed between the re-submission deadline and the last awarded NSP scholarship deadline.
  • Exceptions to this criterion may only occur in cases warranting special attention, particularly if the prior scholarship-supported stay was impacted by unusual circumstances resulting from force majeure (e.g., pandemic, military conflict, etc.).

The National Scholarship Programme does not endorse:

  • International students and PhD candidates enrolled in full-degreebefore higher education programs (bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate studies) in Slovakia, or those currently pursuing such programs in Slovakia who seek financial support for their studies through the NSP;
  • University educators, researchers, and artists lacking a PhD (or its equivalent) but possessing over four years of professional experience in their respective fields (with PhD studies counted as work experience) by the specified application deadline are eligible. Nevertheless, the Scholarship Program Administrator may, after consulting the Selection Committee regarding exceptional cases—particularly those arising from force majeure—consider candidates without a PhD (or its equivalent) who have more than four but no more than seven years of experience. However, such candidates may receive a scholarship amount equivalent to that of applicants without a PhD (or its equivalent) and with less than four years of experience.
  • International candidates who have resided in the Slovak Republic for a cumulative total of 15 months or more within the 36 months preceding the application deadline;
  • International applicants awarded a scholarship reside in Slovakia under various scholarship programs financed by public resources (e.g., International Visegrad Fund, Erasmus+, CEEPUS, bilateral agreements, etc.).

Application Process

Submit all requisite documents, including your CV, transcripts, motivational letter, comprehensive study plan, and two letters of recommendation.
Scholarship applications are filed electronically at www.scholarships.sk.

The online application system opens a minimum of 6 weeks prior to the application deadline. Applications may only be submitted once the online application system has been activated.

The application deadline is October 30, 2024.
