In the event the applicant has not finished his/her Master's studies, he/she shall submit a certificate stating current year of study at home university and the expected date of obtaining his/her next academic diploma, issued by the home university. If applying for the Master’s Scholarship, an up-to-date transcript of academic records covering the entire university studies is also required.

If the applicant is applying for courses that require admission tests or a personal interview (results of which will be known only after the deadline), the applicant submits a proof of his/her application for the studies or a preliminary acceptance letter. The actual acceptance letter shall be submitted before the signing of the contract with the Fund, by the end of July of the respective year at the latest.

Note:
The letter of acceptance cannot be older than 3 months when submitting the application and needs to include the following:
   - name of the applicant
   - working title of the project/study program
   - language of instruction/communication
   - type of study/research (full-time)
   - planned dates of the project/study
   - signature and a stamp of the statutory representative
     (or of a representative of the international studies department of the host institution)

If applying for a Post-Master's scholarship, a letter of recommendation from one's home university is required (stating that the respective supervisor at the home institution agrees with the proposed stay abroad).

If the applicant applied for courses that require admission tests or a personal interview (results of which will be known only after the deadline), the applicant submits a draft of the working plan. The working plan accepted by the host university/institute shall be submitted before the signing of the contract with the Fund, by the end of July of the respective year at the latest. If the applicant is applying for the Master's Scholarship, he/she shall submit a list of courses that he/she plans to attend and state the length of these courses and their credit value.

Note:
The working plan should be a properly written program; a detailed study program referring to at least one professor responsible for the study program. Applicants for a Post-Master's scholarship shall submit a summary of the proposed research.

The working plan must be accepted by the host university/institution and cannot be older than 3 months when submitting the application. Please note that you need to submit both the letter of acceptance and the working plan approved by the host institution before the deadline. When evaluating the application, the selection committee considers the working plan but also the fact whether the host university can accept the applicant (and under what conditions).

Failure to submit the required documents by the deadline will result in excluding the application from the selection procedure.

The only exception regarding the working plan is given to those who apply for courses/studies where they have to pass a personal interview or admission tests before they are accepted. In that case, they, too, have to submit at least a draft of the working plan (to be later approved by the host institution).
