Scholarships for PhD students and social matters

Scholarships

Everyone admitted to the doctoral school, starting October 1, 2020, will receive a stipend for no more than four years (48 months, months of study suspension not included) of study: PLN 2667.7 gross (approximately PLN 2367 net) at the beginning and PLN 4109.7 gross (approximately PLN 3646 net) after the mid-term evaluation.

  • A doctoral student with a disability evaluation receives a doctoral stipend increased by 30% of the basic amount.
  • Doctoral stipends are exempt from income tax, but disability and pension contributions are deducted.
  • The system of universal doctoral scholarships will not be aimed at doctoral students recruited for doctoral studies before the 2019/2020 academic year. They will apply for scholarships under the existing rules.

Social matters

Doctoral students who began their studies before the 2019/2020 academic year are also entitled to apply for a social scholarship from the Material Assistance Fund, a social scholarship or a special scholarship for disabled persons.
