National Scholarship Programme
The Government of the Slovak Republic approved the establishment of the National Scholarship Programme for the support of mobility of students, PhD students, university teachers, researchers and artists in 2005.
The National Scholarship Programme of the Slovak Republic supports study, teaching, research/artistic stays at universities and research organisations. It supports two-way mobility — international scholarship holders to Slovakia, as well as Slovak scholarship holders abroad. The Programme offers scholarships to cover living costs during the stay and travel allowances (all categories in case of scholarship holders from Slovakia; students and PhD students in case of international scholarship holders).
The Programme scholarship holders are scholarship holders of the Government of the Slovak Republic. The National Scholarship Programme is funded by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic from the state budget of the Slovak Republic and from the resources of the European Union — NextGenerationEU, and is administered by SAIA, n. o.
