National Project “Provision of scholarships for talented domestic and international students for the purpose of their studies at Higher Education Institutions in Slovakia” (2025/2026)

„Want to study abroad? Come to Slovakia – a safe country with great potential to make a career!“

The Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic has launched the application process for a scholarship scheme designed for talented students from abroad. The scholarship is intended for international students who wish to study full-time in Slovakia at the bachelor's, combined bachelor's and master's, or master's level in selected study programmes aligned with the Smart Specialisation Strategy of the Slovak Republic (SK RIS3 2021+).

The scholarship is open to applicants from all over the world. A successful applicant may receive a scholarship of up to EUR 15,000. The scholarship is paid monthly during the first three consecutive academic years of a bachelor's or a combined bachelor's and master's programme, or during the first two consecutive academic years of a master's programme, with a monthly amount of EUR 500.

Applications can be submitted between 24 June and 31 July 2025 23:59 CET via the official website: https://scholarships.portalvs.sk.

The main selection criterion is a successful SAT test result with a minimum score of 1100.

The scholarship scheme is co-financed by the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and the state budget of the Slovak Republic.

Benefits of being a scholarship holder:

*Access to public health insurance upon request.

*Financial support through the scholarship to help you pursue your goals.

*The opportunity to participate in Erasmus+ or other academic mobility programs, if interested.

*Study programs available in Slovak and foreign languages, some of them tuition-free.
