Who Can Benefit from the Support?

The scholarship for students with disabilities is available to students who have a disability certificate, a certificate of disability degree, or a certificate referred to in Articles 5 and 62 of the Act of August 27, 1997, on Vocational and Social Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities.

The scholarship is not available to students who

• hold a master's degree (even if obtained abroad);
• hold a bachelor's or engineering degree and are enrolling again in a first-cycle program.

How Long Can I Use This Support?

The scholarship is awarded for one academic year. After that period, students must ensure their disability certificate is valid in the USOS system and reapply.

How Often Can I Use This Support?

The scholarship is available for undergraduate (first-cycle), graduate (second-cycle), and long-cycle master's degree programs. The total scholarship duration is 12 semesters, regardless of whether the student continuously receives it, with the following limits:

• first-cycle studies – no longer than 9 semesters;
• second-cycle studies – no longer than 7 semesters.

NOTE! For students of the Medical Faculty, according to the law, the scholarship period is 14 semesters.

If a disability arises during studies or after obtaining a degree, the student may receive the scholarship for an additional period of 12 semesters (but no longer than 9 semesters for first-cycle studies and no longer than 7 semesters for second-cycle studies).

Can I Use This Support During Dean’s or Medical Leave?

Students on leave can still receive the scholarship for students with disabilities.
