Hlávka Foundation grants research, art and travel scholarships. This oldest Czech foundation was established in 1904 by Dr. Josef Hlávka. Undergraduate and graduate students can apply for travel grants and scholarships that would enable them to actively participate in a conference abroad, in major competitions, or through which they can finance long-term creative sabbaticals. The university rector might, in exceptional cases, request that scholarship be granted to finance an on-campus PhD study programme.
