University of Bielsko-Biała - Rector's scholarship for the best students

Rector's scholarship at the University of Bielsko-Biała

You will receive 1,200 PLN per month (about 280 EUR) for up to 9 months of the academic year. If your degree programme lasts only one semester, you will receive the grant for up to 5 months. If you start in the summer semester, you will receive the grant for up to 4 months. The University of Bielsko-Biała (UBB) awards this grant to its best students for one academic year, and you can reapply every year. The money is tax-free. You may also receive the social scholarship, the disability scholarship, the Ministry scholarship, as well as EU or international scholarships at the same time.

Who can apply

• University: You’re studying at the University of Bielsko-Biała in Poland.
• Degree level: You are studying for a Bachelor’s, a Master’s or an integrated (long-cycle) Master’s degree. An integrated Master’s degree combines a Bachelor’s and a Master’s into a single qualification.
• Field of study and nationality: All subjects and all nationalities can apply.
• Timing: You have completed and successfully passed your first year of study. Master’s students can apply as early as their first year of study, with the final year of their Bachelor’s degree serving as the basis for their application. If you have won a national Olympiad or reached the final, won an international Olympiad, or won a medal at the Polish championships in your sport, you can apply as early as your first year of study, straight after leaving school.
• Results: You must have a grade point average of at least 4.0 under the Polish grading system, or be able to demonstrate outstanding achievements in research, the arts or sport at national level or above. You can earn extra points through student involvement, such as an Erasmus semester, working in a research group or helping out at open days.
• Earlier degrees: If you are starting a new bachelor’s degree programme, you must not already hold a master’s degree.
