Scholarship Description: The CERGE-EI PhD in Economics program is designed for outstanding
students who desire a rigorous graduate education in economics at a modern,
international institution with the goal of pursuing an academic career or
entering a high-level position in an international organization, central bank,
government ministry or in the private sector. The program leads to an MA degree
awarded under an absolute charter granted by the State of New York, USA, and to
a PhD degree which has an absolute charter granted by the State of New York,
USA, and is fully accredited in the Czech Republic under the Charles University
in Prague. Under normal circumstances, PhD Graduates receive both American and
Czech doctoral degrees, while MA graduates receive only an American degree.
Nearly all students are awarded full tuition scholarships for the entire
duration of their MA/PhD program. Students also typically receive
financial support toward living costs based on their previous education (degree
level) and qualifications. Masters degree holders are usually given full
financial support. For students with a Bachelors degree, financial support is
determined on an individual basis.
