PhD scholarship

Good day! Universities in Poland offer PhD scholarships for their doctoral schools. To apply, you need to (in short): 1. Find a professor you would like to work with to guide you and support your application (optional), 2. Apply online with a research proposal and pay the application fee (~June), 3. If 2 is successful, attend an (online) interview with a short presentation (July/September) about your past and proposal, 4. If 3 is successful and you are from outside the EU, apply for a visa (not easy to get these days), and then 5. Appear at the University with original diplomas, certificates, and translations.
