Rector’s Scholarship
This type of scholarship may be awarded to a student after completing the first year of studies. The condition for obtaining the Rector's Scholarship is to obtain high average marks for the last year of studies and/or for scientific, artistic, or high sports results in an international or national competition. The Rector's Scholarship may also be applied for by a first-year undergraduate or long-cycle graduate student admitted to these studies in the year of passing the matriculation examination, who is a winner of the Olympics, finalist of the subject Olympics, or a medalist of sports competition for the title of Polish Champion in a given sport.
A first-year second-cycle student may also apply for the Rector's Scholarship based on the results from the last year of undergraduate studies. If he has previously studied at a university other than VU, it is required to attach to the application a certificate of the average grade from the previous university.
Applications for the Rector's Scholarship for the best students are submitted twice a year at the beginning of each semester according to the schedule. Rector's scholarships are awarded twice an academic year for a semester for up to 5 months.
The student is required to submit a separate application with complete documentation for each semester. The rector's scholarship may be awarded to a maximum of 10% of the best students in a specific field of study.
The Rector's scholarship for the best students may not be awarded to a student who, regardless of the average grade and achievements:
a) Repeats the year/semester of study,
b) Obtained a conditional entry or a conditional credit for the next semester/year,
c) Resumed studies after being removed from the list of students due to failing a semester or a year.

Detailed rules for awarding students with the Minister's Scholarship for outstanding achievements can be found on the website: https://www.nauka.gov.pl/stypendia–ministra/
Procedure for submitting applications for a minister's scholarship by universities
Minister's scholarships are awarded to students at the request of the Rector of the university approved by the Faculty Council.
After obtaining the opinion, the Rector submits the student's application to the ministry along with documents confirming the achievement of outstanding achievements. If the student has presented other achievements, other than the catalog of outstanding successes, or not related to the studies, the Rector's opinion may be negative. The university rector only submits positively assessed applications to the Minister.
Applications for Minister's Scholarships are submitted by the Rector by October 15th.
All information needed to apply can be found on the website of the ministry.
A scholarship for people with disabilities may be awarded to a student on the basis of a disability, confirmed by a decision of a competent authority, with a mild, moderate, or severe disability, or an equivalent certificate.
The student should attach to his application a valid decision entitling him to a scholarship. The scholarship for disabled people may be up to 10 months, but not longer than the validity of the decision.
A student who is temporarily in a difficult financial situation can get help. The event entitling to the scholarship may be, for example, death or serious illness of a family member, natural disasters (e.g. fire, flood), or other random events.
You can apply for the aid up to two times in the academic year. A student cannot receive an allowance twice for the same event.
Undocumented or insufficiently documented applications will not be the basis for granting the allowance. The student must document the event (e.g. with a medical certificate, a certificate from a social welfare center, a court or police decision, invoices, or bills confirming the expenses incurred as a result of the situation). In justified cases, the university may request the presentation of certificates on the amount of net income in the family.
The application for assistance should be submitted immediately, but no later than 90 days from the date of the random event.
The amount of the allowance applicable in a given academic year is determined by the Rector in agreement with the university body of the student government.
The allowance is paid once typically, but due to the state of the Covid-19 pandemic, in the 2019/2020 summer semester, a student may apply for the Allowance more than twice.
