Studying Abroad is a dream of many but some cannot pursue it because of financial constraints. To help with the students, scholarships are granted to deserving students by the Governments of various countries. Recently, based on the bilateral talks, the Embassy of the Czech Republic has announced Scholarships for Indian Students in 2024-2025. The scholarships will be provided to graduate or postgraduate students from India for a study stay at public universities in the Czech Republic.
