The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Abuja would like to draw attention to inaccurate information currently published online regarding the Czech Government Scholarships for the 2027/2028 academic year.
A website currently circulating information about the programme lists Nigeria among the eligible countries and provides information on how to apply. This information is not correct.
For the academic year 2027/2028, the Czech Government Scholarship programme is open only to citizens of the countries listed by the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MŠMT). Nigeria is not among the eligible countries.
We are aware of the strong interest of Nigerian students in studying in Czechia and understand that this information may be disappointing for prospective applicants. We therefore kindly ask Nigerian students to rely on official Czech sources when looking for information about government scholarships and study opportunities.
