The National Scholarship Programme of the Slovak Republic supports mobility of students, PhD students, university teachers, researchers and artists. It supports two-way mobility – mobility of foreign scholarship holders to Slovakia, as well as of Slovak scholarship holders abroad. Scholarship covers living costs related to the scholarship stay (accommodation, board, etc.).
The programme was approved by the Government of the Slovak Republic in 2005. It is funded by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic and administered by SAIA, n. o.
