UNESCO/Czech Republic Co-Sponsored Fellowships Programme

UNESCO and Czech Republic are inviting applications for fellowships programme.

programme once the fellowship is awarded.

In
order to promote human resource capacities in the developing Member States and
to enhance friendship among peoples of the world, the Government of the Czech
Republic has placed at the disposal of UNESCO three long-term fellowships for
undergraduate studies (which comprises the Bachelor’s and Master’s study
programmes for the academic year 2017-2018) for the benefit of certain
developing Member States.

Neither
a citizen of the Czech Republic, nor a citizen of a Member State of the
European Union, nor any other foreign national with a permanent residence
permit on the territory of the Czech Republic may therefore be granted this
type of scholarship.
