In connection with the introduction of doctoral study income for first-year students and other changes brought about by the amendment to the Higher Education Act (more details here), there have been changes to the method and dates of payment to DSP students at Palacký University (UP).

How to apply for study income or a scholarship?

First-year students of full-time doctoral study programs at UP in the 2025/2026 academic year must apply for doctoral study income. Similarly, all current DSP students at UP must now apply for their doctoral scholarships.

Each student submits their application using a paper form entitled Application for a Doctoral Scholarship.

Students can obtain information about the form and how to submit their application from the doctoral studies department of their faculty, contact details for faculty doctoral study programs can be found here.

When will the income/scholarship be paid?

Doctoral scholarships and doctoral study income are now paid to students retroactively in the following month. (This means that scholarships awarded for September will be received by students in October.)
