Dean's Measure No. D90
on financial support for cross-border study programmes

Students of cross-border study programmes who are citizens of a Member State of the European Union, have applied to study at FSc USB and were admitted to study at FSc USB, are provided with financial support in the form of an extraordinary scholarship during their studies at the partner university with which the study programme is accredited. This is non-entitlement financial support. The amount of support in a given study program and academic year or semester is determined by the dean of the faculty and may vary. The support is only provided to students who fulfil all study obligations given by the Study and Examination Regulations USB within the deadlines given in the current Provision of the Dean on the Organization of the Academic Year. At the same time, the student must have cleared all obligations to USB.

Article I

Supporting Students in Bachelor's Degree Programmes

Eligibility for this financial support only arises upon the first study of the cross-border Bachelor's programme.

Students of the Biological Chemistry Bachelor's programme receive support in the Winter semester of the 1^st year, in the Summer semester they receive support only if they applied for support through the Erasmus programme but did not receive it. In September of the 1^st year, support is paid at double the amount to cover initial expenses. It is not necessary to apply for support from September to January of the 1^st year (the supporting documents will be prepared by the Study department).

To receive the support from February to May, students must present themselves at the Study Department of the FSci USB by the deadline in the second half of February and submit proof from the foreign partner university that they have completed courses worth at least 20 ECTS credits in the 1^st semester of their studies; if they fail to do so by the deadline, the financial support will be stopped.

If a student goes to a foreign partner university again in the 3^rd year of his/her bachelor studies, the support is paid for the period of time defined as the shortest necessary duration of stay at the partner university (for the Biological Chemistry programme in the period September to March) only if the student has applied for support under the Erasmus programme and has not received it.

Article II

Supporting Students in Master's Degree Programmes

Eligibility for this financial support only arises upon the first study of a cross-border Master’s programme.

In the 1^st year of the Master's programme, or in the first period during which the student is studying at the partner university, support in the amount determined by the Dean is paid from September to January.

To receive the support from February to June, students must present themselves to the Study Department of the FSci USB by the deadline in the second half of February and provide proof from the foreign partner university that they have completed courses worth at least 20 credits in the previous semester of study; if they fail to do so by the deadline, the financial support will be stopped.

Students in the higher years during the standard period of study may apply for support during the period of study at the partner university, for example during the time needed to complete their master's thesis; the dean decides on the granting of support on the basis of an individual application.
