The program offers scholarships for the duration of full-time second-cycle studies conducted in Polish or English at universities supervised by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW) that have signed a framework agreement with NAWA. Candidates independently choose their field of study and apply directly to their chosen universities. NAWA does not mediate the admissions process. Studies in Polish may be preceded by a one-year preparatory course (also covered by the scholarship). For studies in English, an additional course in Polish language and culture is provided. Applicants are required to have a document confirming their participation in the recruitment process (e.g., application confirmation, letter of acceptance, or admission decision), except for those choosing a path that includes a preparatory course. A minimum B2 level of proficiency in the language of study is required (or a minimum B1 level if applying for a preparatory course). For those interested in participating in the Banach Scholarship Program, please contact NAWA: [email protected]
