Are you interested in studying in a foreign country and interested in the place where you live? Are you a high school student in the ŠKODA regions? Apply for the NFŠA scholarship programme and get the opportunity to study abroad in the school year 2022/2023!
What is the scholarship all about?
New experiences help us to broaden our horizons and thus the development not only of ourselves but also of others in society. A stay abroad is just such a new experience. The SKODA AUTO Endowment Fund has therefore decided to provide this opportunity to students over the age of 15 from secondary schools in the ŠA* regions who are interested in what is happening in their local area, want to develop it further and also gain new experiences from elsewhere.
We would like to give every student the same opportunity to enjoy their stay to the fullest. If the costs during the stay exceed the student's means and he/she cannot afford the stay, he/she has the opportunity to describe his/her situation to us in a motivation letter. The SKODA AUTO Endowment Fund is ready to lend a helping hand in such a case.
* The secondary school is located in the Mladá Boleslav region (Mladá Boleslav district), Rychnov region (Rychnov nad Kněžnou district) and Vrchlabí region (Vrchlabí ORP, Jilemnice ORP).
What do we need from you?
- Project proposal on the theme of SUSTAINABILITY (improving the quality of life in your region)
- Motivation letter "Why I am applying for the scholarship and why I should get it" in English
- Letter of recommendation from a teacher or person involved in your development (e.g. from school, club or other activity you are involved in)
- Report cards for the past school year
- Certificate of secondary education
