Details about the scholarship [only in Polish]

Students will be able to complete their applications by October 12, 2022. After this date, the applications will be blocked and made available to employees of departments in order to check the application in the OSF system under the substantive account and possibly submit comments to the Student Welfare and Support Office UW.

Applications sent via other means than the ZSUN / OSF system (e.g. in paper form, via traditional mail or via the ePUAP platform) will not be considered.

Due to the preparation of applications by the Office for Material Aid for electronic signature by the rector, the final date for the correction of applications for a scholarship is October 19, 2022. After this date, applications will not be submitted to the rector.

Applications are submitted via the Integrated System of Services for Science, Handling of Financing Streams (ZSUN / OSF system). Each student who plans to submit an application for a minister’s scholarship (not to be confused with the rector’s scholarship) independently completes and submits such an application in the OSF system, after reporting to the Material Aid Office in order to obtain access to this system (login and password). Students who already have accounts in the ZSUN / OSF system must also apply for a new account.

To set up an account, the student should report such a request by sending an e-mail from the UW domain to the address bpm@uw.edu.pl by October 12, 2022, providing in the application the name, surname, album (index) number and the full name of the faculty (e.g. Faculty of Law and Administration) from which he is applying for the minister’s scholarship.

The Student Welfare and Support Office will send the login details to each student according to the timing of the e-mail.
