Scholarship opportunities
Foreign students admitted into Master’s degree programmes can take advantage of a number of scholarship programmes. ECON MUNI does not provide scholarships to cover your tuition fee, as our tuition fees are already subsidized by the Czech government. However, we provide eligible students with an accommodation scholarship (see below).
To explore other scholarship opportunities, you can find some recommendations below:
- Newcomers' Scholarship – Masaryk University opened in 2021 the new scholarship program providing the financial support of 100,000 CZK (circa € 3,800) to students enrolled in full-time English taught programs from developing countries or countries that are undergoing economic transformation. The new scholarship fund is designed to help the students of a very good academic performance to cover their first year of studies at Masaryk University.
- International Visegrad Fund – The programme is open to citizens of Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The deadline for submitting the applications to the Faculty of Economics and Administration is February 6, 2023.

Cost of living
Brno offers a high quality of life for a great price. The cost of living in Brno is very low in comparison to other EU cities, which allows students to live comfortably on a very small budget. The monthly cost of shared university housing is between 70-140 EUR, private apartment would be for a monthly price of €80–320. Monthly public transportation pass is 10 EUR for students, monthly groceries about 100 EUR. These websites are quite good for getting a better idea of the real cost of living in Brno: Expatistan or Numbeo.
