Applications are invited for two scholarships offered by the Government of the Czech Republic for doctoral studies for academic year 2000-2001. Students with no knowledge of the Czech language will be required to take a one-year language course. However, the selected student must be prepared to pay initial expenses up to CZK 3000-5000 for miscellaneous fees and charges.
Airfares are also to be met by the student.
Those students having already benefited from a scholarship through the Government of Mauritius in the past will not be eligible for another scholarship. Beneficiaries of scholarships will be required to enter into a bond for a sum of Rs500,000 or any lower sum equivalent to the monetary value of the scholarship, binding themselves to return to Mauritius immediately after completing their studies, and work for at least five years in the public or private sector. Only the best-qualified candidates will be called for interview. Responsible parties of applicants not in Mauritius may apply on behalf of their wards. However, the candidate must be present for the interview.
