The Government of the Czech Republic has approved the university scholarship program for the academic year 2026/2027. The citizens of Ethiopia are included among the eligible applicants for the program.

Granting scholarships to citizens from developing countries for studies in the Czech Republic represents an important long-term part of the development cooperation efforts of the Czech Republic. Ethiopia, as a priority country of the Czech development cooperation, has been benefiting from the scholarship program since 2017.

The call for applications is open for students who hold a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree. Eligible applicants may choose from a wide range of follow-up Master and Doctoral Study programs at a number of Czech universities. All the study programs are in English language. 

Each applicant is required to fill in an electronic application form available on the website http://registr.dzs.cz/registr.nsf 
All the detailed instructions for the applicants are published on this website. The application period is from August 4, 2025 to September 30, 2025. More information on the scholarship program can be found at https://msmt.gov.cz/eu-and-international-affairs/government-scholarships-developing-countries 

As all the information is available online, the embassy will not respond to any emails regarding the scholarship program. Only those students who would get successfully pre-selected will be contacted directly by the embassy until December 2025 with the detailed information about the upcoming steps including the rest of the selection process.
