You don’t know if you are entitled to an accommodation scholarship? Wondering when and how it pays off? Then read on.
Conditions for obtaining an accommodation scholarship
To obtain a scholarship, you must meet all of the following criteria:
- You are a full-time student of a bachelor, master, or doctoral degree programme.
- You are studying in your first-degree programme.
- if you are studying within the standard period of study,
- The place of your permanent residence is in a different district than the place of your study.
You can get an accommodation scholarship regardless of whether you are staying in dormitories or elsewhere.
Application for an accommodation scholarship
Applications for the accommodation scholarship are submitted electronically via the UWB Portal for each academic year. If you are awarded the scholarship, it will be paid at regular monthly intervals. The accommodation scholarship is not awarded retroactively. Its award is contingent upon the date the application is submitted.
For first-year students, the award of the accommodation scholarship may be contingent upon verification in the central registry. Verification usually takes place by mid-November.
Application process:
- Log in to your UWB Portal
- Click on “Studium“ (Study) and “Moje studium“ (My Study) and “Moje údaje“ (My Data).
- Enter your bank account number (all scholarship money will be sent to this account).
- Submit your application for the accommodation scholarship.
If your application is approved, the scholarship will be awarded retroactively from the date you submitted your application; therefore, we recommend that you apply for it as soon as you gain access to the UWB Portal.
If your scholarship application was denied and you believe it was unjustified, you may file a request for a review of the decision to deny your accommodation scholarship.
Accommodation scholarship payment method
Until now, accommodation scholarships have been paid retroactively for the previous quarter in January, April, July, and October. With the amendment to the Scholarship Regulations, from 2026 onwards, the payment of accommodation scholarships will be governed by the fulfillment of the conditions for the award of an accommodation scholarship. The date of payment and the amount are determined by the Rector’s decision. First-year students are paid the scholarship for the 3rd and 4th quarters at once in January. This is due to the students’ data, which have to be verified by the Central Register.
