Online Application

Although there are application deadlines, students are accepted on a rolling basis. In order to allow time to carefully review all student application materials, an e-mail notifying the application status to Prague Summer Schools will be sent to applicants approximately 14 days after the application is received. Applications received by the Earlybird application deadline of January 31sh will receive preference in admission decisions. Late applications may be considered. However, late applicants run the risk of finding the program full. All students will be informed about admissions decisions by May 1st. Participants will be selected according to the following three criteria:

1. Educational Background (Year, Grade Point Average and Area of Study)
2. Statement of Purpose
3. Level of English (if applicable)

Approximately 20 students will be admitted to every program of the Prague Summer Schools. We intend to restrict the class size to ensure interactive courses and discussions. We aim to create a truly international student body.

The programs are most suitable for university students, but we also accept high school students with a strong interest and graduated students. The Prague Summer Schools admit both undergraduate and graduate-level students. Priority will be given to students with at least some academic background related to the topics of Prague Summer Schools. Nevertheless, students of other academic backgrounds, but with a strong demonstrated interest in the Summer School topic, will be considered on an equal basis.

Students admitted to Prague Summer Schools are expected to participate fully in the program by attending all classes, guest lectures, and social networking events.

However, being quite popular PSS programs have been quite numerous in the last years. To keep the quality of the courses high, the number of spots in all courses is limited. Students should submit the registration form as soon as possible, as acceptance to the course will be made on a rolling basis.

Unfortunately, as a non-profit organization, SCHOLA EMPIRICA is not able to provide students with financial aid. Nonetheless, we do encourage students to explore funding opportunities available through their home universities, non-governmental organizations and government sources. A good place to start the search is www.scholarshipportal.com.

Accepted students may ask the organizers for documents they need to support their scholarship application(s).
