Bakala Foundation Opens Applications for the 18th Year of the Scholarship Program

November 10, 2026

The Bakala Foundation has opened applications for the next year of its Scholarship program. For 18 years, the program has been helping talented students from the Czech Republic pursue their academic ambitions at top universities worldwide.
The Scholarship program is open to applicants across all fields of study—from natural sciences and engineering to social sciences and the arts. Successful applicants can secure financial support for full-time bachelor’s or master’s degree programs at prestigious foreign institutions, helping cover both tuition and living expenses. Beyond financial aid, the foundation provides practical advice on university selection, application consultations, expert workshops, and access to an active scholar community.
Prospective study-abroad applicants can submit their applications from November 10 through January 12, 2027. Alongside academic records, the online application requires an essay on a chosen topic and a letter of recommendation.
Since 2010, the foundation has supported 233 students who have attended leading institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, and Yale, and who now excel in science, research, and emerging technology development.
