The doctoral scholarship is paid to students in the full-time form of study who have met the prescribed conditions for its recognition. It is paid retrospectively for the past month to the student's bank account. The payout date is the 20th day of the month. The student is obliged to enter the bank account number into the SIS (in the personal data section), otherwise the scholarship cannot be paid to him/her.
It is necessary to request the stipend via the Information System at the beginning of every academic year. You can find the manual here.
The payment of scholarships is governed by the following regulations:
The student may request the dean of the faculty to award other scholarships in accordance with the Scholarship and Bursary Rules of CU for Awarding Scholarships at the Second Faculty of Medicine CU. This request must be documented in accordance with the Dean's provision No. 6/2018 Art. 4 (see the Request for scholarship increase).
Obstacles to Granting Scholarships and Bursaries
A doctoral bursary may not be awarded to a student where the aggregate of completed study exceeds the standard length of study in the programme in which the student is pursuing his studies. According to Article 13(2) of the Scholarship and Bursary Rules of CU, the aggregate of completed study includes:
- the length of study in the programme in which the student is pursuing his studies; and
- the length of study in the doctoral programmes terminated in accordance with section 56 (1) (a), (b), or (e) of the Higher Education Act
A student is therefore entitled to a doctoral scholarship only once per four years of study. The entitlement is no longer valid for one year of study.
Where a student is enrolled in several full-time doctoral programmes, this bursary may be awarded and paid for the given period only once, for the programme in which the student was enrolled first. Where such a programme cannot be determined, the bursary is awarded and paid for the programme determined by the rector, upon the proposal made by the student and upon consideration with the deans of the faculties concerned.
Where the subject area board concludes, in the assessment of a doctoral student, that the student failed to fulfil the requirements of the individual study plan, a doctoral bursary may not be paid.
