Please note that the Ministry of Education is the institution that determines if a particular student is eligible for Housing Stipend. Furthermore, the Ministry only considers students enrolled in their "first study program/field" or transfer students "continuing their studies in the same field" to be eligible.  Those are internal terms applied by the Ministry of Education. Whether a student is recognized as "continuing study in the same study field" is also dependent on the code under which his/her previous university reported the leaving student.

Study Abroad, Exchange and American degree only students are NOT eligible for the Housing Stipend.

Who is eligible to receive social STIPEND?

o   Students who already are awarded enhanced level child benefit by the Czech State support office (by Úřad státní sociální podpory).

Dear UNYP Community, 

UNYP in cooperation with Future Females Prague is organizing a hybrid panel discussion „Women in business: Challenges and the path to success“ with a small reception after the talks by the Embassy of Canada.

The discussion will be focused on the status quo and the challenges of gender inequality within the business world.
