External funding opportunities
Joint Bachelor in Sustainability (BASUS) is one of the recipients of the NAWA KATAMARAN grant to provide financial support for student mobility of students enrolled in international programmes. With this grant, we have established a short-term scholarship scheme for BASUS students to help with the mobility costs of moving to their track university.
Students who find themselves in a difficult financial situation will be able to apply for the scholarship during the summer semester of their first year. Successful applicants will receive the scholarship throughout the summer break between the first and the second year. The scholarship amount is PLN 2,250 per month (PLN 6,750 in total).
The criteria for awarding the scholarship will be the financial situation of the student (65% of the points) and the grades obtained in the course of study (35% of the points).
As part of this scheme, successful applicants will be required to conduct a small research project during the summer break. More information about the application procedure and schedule will follow.
Available scholarships
As BASUS students are formally enrolled in all degree-awarding partner universities, they can apply for the scholarships & financial aid on the same grounds as any other students at the university. Below you can find more information about the scholarships offered by Uniwersytet Jagielloński that successful applicants will be able to apply for once they have enrolled to the programme.
Social scholarship
A student in difficult financial circumstances is entitled to receive a social scholarship. The financial situation of the student is determined based on the monthly net income per family member. The social scholarship is not available to a student who holds a master's degree, even if obtained abroad, or holds a bachelor's degree and is starting first-cycle studies again.
The amount of the social scholarship is determined by the Rector in consultation with the University Economic Commission of the Student Government at the turn of October and November for the winter semester of the given academic year, and in February for the summer semester.
Scholarship for students with disabilities
A scholarship for people with disabilities may be awarded to a student on account of a disability confirmed by a decision of a respective authority.
Financial aid
One-off benefit. Financial aid may be provided to any student facing temporary hardship, such as death of a parent.
Rector's scholarship
The rector's scholarship is a form of financial support awarded to students (including foreigners) enrolled in first-cycle studies, second-cycle studies and long-cycle master's studies for outstanding academic performance and scientific, artistic or sporting achievements.
The rector's scholarship is awarded to a student admitted to the first year of first-cycle studies or long-cycle studies in the year of taking the school-leaving exams who is:
- a winner of an international competition (olimpiada) or a winner or finalist of a central-level competition (olimpiada) referred to in the Polish regulations on the education system;
- a medallist in a sports competition for the title of the Champion of Poland in a given sport referred to in the regulations on sports.
The rector's scholarship is not available to a student who holds a master's degree, even if he or she obtained it abroad. This scholarship is also not available to a student who holds a bachelor's degree if they are re-entering a first-degree programme. The scholarship amount is determined by the Rector at the turn of October and November for a given academic year.
Support fund for Uniwesytet Jagielloński students and doctoral students
Students who are temporarily in a difficult financial situation related to, for example, an armed conflict or the economic situation, and who are not eligible for an allowance from the Scholarship Fund, e.g. who hold a master's degree, may apply for an allowance from the Support Fund.
As such, the scholarships are not awarded to those with a master's degree and, for first-cycle studies, to those with a bachelor's degree, even if these degrees (or equivalent) were obtained abroad. Scholarships from the Scholarship Fund may not be granted to a student studying for more than 12 semesters, even if he or she has not previously received benefits, with the proviso that within this period benefits are granted for:
- first degree – no longer than for 9 semesters;
- second-cycle studies – for no longer than 7 semesters.
