Remarks
The Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange NAWA does not participate in the recruitment of applicants for university studies or research stays. Applicants take part in the recruitment process at a selected university individually and independently of their scholarship application. Applicants must contact the Polish host universities themselves to confirm the possibility of part-time studies or research stays. The final decision on the acceptance of the applicant is made by the host university.
The host university decides whether a scholarship can be extended. We therefore recommend that scholarship holders who wish to extend their scholarship should contact their host university at an early stage to find out whether an extension is possible. In the positive case, the application for extension can be submitted to swissuniversities.
