The government, numerous institutions, and the universities themselves all grant scholarships to students in Poland. They are open to students of Polish descent, including disabled applicants, as well as international students from both within and outside the European Union. The country's situation is unusual due to the large number of institutions that give scholarships and their fluctuating availability.

Scholarships offered through bilateral agreements

It's also a good idea to see whether your local government has a scholarship programme that involves study in Poland. It's worth checking with your local government to see if they provide any scholarships.

How to get a scholarship

Foreign students with a Pole Card will be eligible for various scholarships. Other international students in Poland on a temporary residence permit or visa are not eligible unless they or their family members meet the legal requirements. In Poland, students are required to complete academic studies. However, students must first complete a secondary school education and obtain a high school diploma in order to be admitted to a university. Students with an equivalent high school diploma or diploma are not automatically eligible to apply for a scholarship. To ensure the legitimacy of certificates or degrees issued by issuing nations and compliance with Polish law, nostrification must be followed. Before entering Poland, students must have a valid visa and a medical examination.
