Program Overview

Poland Government scholarship is an educational fund aid which is established to assist the socio-economic growth of developing countries outside the Europe and Central Asia countries by way of increasing the rate of education and professional qualifications of these countries’ citizens. It is a scholarship scheme established under the partnership initiated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange NAWA in the form of Polish developmental education aid.

The Poland Government scholarship advances a fund aid for foreign students, empowering all the applicants to finish full-time studies of Master’s degree in the fields of agricultural sciences, engineering and technical sciences, exact sciences and life sciences at higher education institutions administered by the minister excellent for higher education and science, within the regulation period of education. Moreover, at public higher education institutions of Poland, the program also proffers a full fee waiver of the cost of tuition fees for the whole of the academic period.

The financial situations of studies at non-public higher education institutions administered by the minister competent for higher education and science are also established by these institutions. In such cases, the issue of tuition fees should be granted on an individual basis between the successful candidates and the non-public universities which accepts them. The matter of exclusions from tuition fees persists within the competence of the accepting non-public universities.

However, the program itself does not provide scholarships for studies offered by institutions supervised by other ministries.

How to Apply the Poland Government Scholarship

Applications are undergone within two procedures namely formal and content-related evaluation.

The goal of formal evaluation is to verify the application to ensure that it fulfills formal criteria specified in regulation of Poland Government scholarship. For the incomplete application, the applicants will be required to provide the missing documents within two weeks from the request to do so. For the applicants who fail to fulfill the requirements will result in the application not being further considered. The missing information is to be provided via the application system. It is only possible to provide the missing information once, within the time limit and the range specified in the notification sent through the system to the applicants’ email address.

Applications will not be considered in the cases mentioned below.

  1. If they are submitted past the deadline specified in the call for applications,
  2. If they do not meet the formal requirements specified in the call for applications for the Poland Government scholarship, including if they do not contain all the required documents.

Secondly, the content-related evaluation is conducted by team of judges from the database, based on the outline description of the planned Master’s thesis submitted by the applicants, and by the evaluation panel based on the GPA from the applicants’ Bachelor degree. GPAs received in countries with a grading system different than the Polish one will be recalculated into the Polish scale based on the international grade calculator. Each application, along with the required documents, is measured individually by one reviewer and the evaluation panel.
