This year the Bakala Foundation distributed another 5 million Czech crowns to talented young people who aspire to study at leading universities abroad. This is the seventh year that the Foundation’s Scholarship Program has been providing financial aid and, once again, there was enormous interest on the part of students. Out of 218 applicants, 22 progressed to the interviews conducted by a selection committee of experts, who made a final decision to grant 13 scholarships. To date, the Foundation has awarded financial aid to 113 students from the Czech Republic through its Scholarship Program, bringing the total amount that the Bakalas have provided to support talented Czech students studying abroad to almost CZK 100 million.
