Rector's Scholarship
The Rector's scholarship is a recognition granted to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance or excel in scientific, artistic, or sports achievements at least at the national level during the last academic year. Here's what you need to know about applying for this scholarship:
Eligibility: All achievements must relate to the last academic year.
Application period: Applications for the summer semester of the academic year 2023/2024 will be accepted from April 1st to April 15th, 2024. This applies only to students who commenced their studies in the winter semester.
How to apply: Submit your application to the Financial Department of KBU. If you need assistance or are unable to submit the application in person, reach out to the staff of the International Office.
Scholarship allocation: The order of submission does not matter as long as it's within the deadline. However, late submissions may be rejected due to funding constraints. The scholarship is awarded to no more than 10% of students in a given field of study.
Duration and determination: Scholarships are awarded for up to 10 months. The average for each field of study is determined after students submit their applications. It's calculated based on the grades of all exams and credits obtained during the last year of study.
