This does not apply to the Chancellor’s Academic Achievement Scholarship and the Minister’s Achievement Award Scholarship since students can apply for them no sooner than after the end of the first year of study.
2. A student who applies for any scholarship/grant submits an application form and appendix in the Dean’s Office on applicable templates (appendix to PWSBiA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS RULES AND REGULATIONS). The application can be sent by post. Full document is available on PWSBiA’s website or in the Dean’s office.
3. The maximum monthly income in the family of student applying for a Grant for Low-income Students cannot be higher than 782 PLN.
