The Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Beirut informs that as of Monday, 25 March 2024, students from Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria can apply for scholarships provided by the Slovak Government for Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree studies in Slovakia for the 2024-2025 academic year. 

Applications for the scholarships must be submitted electronically only through the website of the Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic, that contains detailed information about the conditions, criteria, fields of studies and documents that are required for the application. 

The website is available in Slovak, English, French and Spanish and offers exact instructions on how to apply, specifications of the scholarships, fees to be paid by the applicants themselves while in Slovakia, as well as the email and phone contacts for support in case of questions (in Slovak and English only).

To be granted the scholarship, the applicants must be able to master a desired level of the Slovak language.

More information on the language course can be found on the website of Matej Bel University in Banska Bystrica.

The deadline for submitting the electronic application is Thursday, 30 May 2024. Applications submitted after that date, as well as incomplete ones, will not be considered.
