Scholarship Information
Additional funding is often available to students to cover their remaining programs fees. Students are encouraged to explore funding opportunities available through non-government organizations and government sources to assist in their payment of fees and travel expenses, such as the Soros Foundation, U.S. Embassies or their country's embassy in the Czech Republic. Local businesses, corporations and employers are often a source for additional scholarship help. Many students attending the Institute do find additional funding to cover their costs.

The Fund for American Studies offers an average scholarship of 83% for all international students. The Fund for American Studies usually provides support letters for students seeking additional funding from other organizations. However, our knowledge of organizations that provide additional funding is limited beyond this list due to language barriers.
