The Poland My First Choice scholarship programme of the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) aims to encourage young talented people from selected countries to pursue studies at the best Polish universities.
The Programme offers an opportunity to pursue full-time second-cycle studies at public and private HEIs on all fields of study offered by institutions offering education at highest level – i.e. those classified to the A and A+ category under the latest parametric evaluation.
Participants receive a monthly scholarship amounting to PLN 2,000 (ca. EUR 464) to cover the living allowance during the period of education in Poland.
In the case of public Higher Education Institutions, the Programme also offers an exemption from education fees.
