At UNYP, we strive to make higher education accessible to as many students as possible. To support this goal, we offer various scholarships, tuition fee reductions, and financial incentives for students across our bachelor’s, master’s, MBA, and Ph.D. programs.
UNYP Merit Scholarships are treated as tuition waivers, and will be calculated and deducted from the student’s tuition. Students must retain a full-time student status at all times and must meet all of the following criteria:
Transfer students must have a minimum of 2.8 out of 4 (or equivalent based on different grading systems) to apply for an Admission Merit Scholarship. This replaces the “Demonstrate excellent high school results (top 20% bracket)” criteria in the scholarship requirements; the rest of the requirements remain the same.
This award is made in memory of Barbara Adams Hasek, who strived to encourage higher education across all levels of society. One full tuition scholarship for a European Bachelor Degree is awarded annually to a Czech or Slovak student who, for mostly financial reasons, would not otherwise be able to attend UNYP. Applicants for the Barbara Adams Hasek Scholarship must:
A sports achievement scholarship is awarded in recognition of an outstanding achievement in a sporting endeavor on one or the other of the criteria detailed below. These awards cannot be combined. They are based on the applicant’s highest achievement at the time of application:

A 15% tuition fee waiver is available to all Czech and Slovak UNYP undergraduate program applicants who are based in the Czech Republic or the Slovak Republic and are full-time employees of non-profit organizations (NPO) and non-profit associations (NPA) associated with the delivery of community welfare services, emergency relief, environmental issues and public service. An official employer’s confirmation of full-time employment must be submitted at the time of application. The applicant must have been working as a full-time employee for at least one full year at the time of application. This tuition waiver is also applicable to the children of such employees, but not their spouses.
Full-time students (Czech and international) enrolled in Czech-accredited bachelor’s and master’s programs (Business Administration, Communication & Mass Media, Communication & Media Studies, International Economic Relations, International Relations and Psychology) whose primary residence is outside Prague may be eligible for a monthly Housing Stipend from the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic and is distributed by UNYP. Students need to fulfill all the criteria determined by the Ministry. The stipend amount is approximately CZK 540 per month, over 10 months of the year. The housing stipend will be distributed by the Czech Ministry of Education, when and if it is granted.
To be eligible for a social stipend, students must be awarded enhanced-level child benefit by the State Support Office (Urad statni socialni podpory). The social stipend amount is decided by the government, and will be distributed by the Czech Ministry of Education, when and if it is granted. For more information, please
Merit awards are offered based on the following criteria:
(must be provided before the start of the program)
A student can qualify for more than one Merit Award and discount, but the combined amount cannot exceed 120.000 CZ
5% tuition discount for UNYP Graduate Programs is available for students who register and pay the tuition and fees in full at least one week before the start of their studies. This discount takes the form of a tuition discount and is calculated and deducted from the student’s tuition.
An additional 5% discount is offered to students who pay a deposit of CZK 75,000 before June 30th.
Students who are accepted to work as Graduate Research Assistants for UNYP for the duration of their graduate studies will be awarded a tuition waiver of 75% against the graduate program for which they are accepted. Graduate Research Assistants are expected to make themselves available to UNYP for at least 24 hours per week for research assistant work during their studies. Only EU citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply for Graduate Research Assistant positions. Applicants who are interested in such appointments should inform the admissions office at the time of their application. The number of UNYP Graduate Research Assistant positions available each year will be determined by the needs of the university.
Students who have graduated from any UNYP academic program and then continue on to another degree program with UNYP will qualify for a CZK 50,000 tuition fee waiver and application fee waiver for the program with which they choose to continue their studies.
UNYP Bachelor’s and Master’s Alumni who would like to take further undergraduate or graduate courses and earn a certificate in a different area/specialization are granted a 50% discount on the tuition of the specific course(s). This also applies to Master’s level students who would like to take Bachelor’s level courses for certificate earning purposes during their graduate studies at UNYP. The discount is not valid for any credits earned towards a degree/diploma, and cannot be combined with any other discount or scholarship.
Corporate agreement discounts are available and are agreed with individual corporate institutions.
UNYP offers Tuition Payment Plans – equal monthly payments that spread the cost of tuition over a semester with the addition of an instalment fee. The fee for this payment plan is calculated as a percentage (2% for daily programs and 3% for weekend programs) of the outstanding tuition amount. Payment plans are available for all UNYP study programs.
All scholarships, awards, and discounts apply exclusively to courses and credits offered by UNYP and do not extend to those provided by partner universities (e.g., SUNY Empire State University).
If a student qualifies for any other tuition waiver or scholarship (e.g., the Graduate Scholarship), the early payment discount will be calculated first, before applying the additional waiver.
Tuition waivers cannot be combined, except in conjunction with the early payment discount.
For scholarship applicants, only the results of the first exam taken will be considered.
All Merit Scholarships, Awards, and Tuition Discounts must be applied for and granted before the start of the program for which the applicant has been accepted.
