The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Nigeria has refuted online claims that Nigerian students are eligible for the Czech Government Scholarship programme for the 2027/2028 academic year.
In a statement released on Monday, the embassy clarified that Nigeria is not among the countries eligible for the scholarship during this period. This announcement comes in response to the circulation of inaccurate information online suggesting otherwise.
“For the 2027/2028 academic year, Nigeria is not among the countries eligible for the Czech Government Scholarship programme,” the embassy stated, urging Nigerian students to disregard unofficial websites listing Nigeria as eligible.
The embassy emphasized, “We have seen some information circulating online about Czech Government Scholarships for the 2027/2028 academic year, including claims that applicants from Nigeria are eligible. Please note that this information is NOT accurate.”
Acknowledging the strong interest of Nigerian students in pursuing studies in the Czech Republic, the embassy expressed regret that the government scholarship is not available to Nigerian applicants for the 2027/2028 academic year.
We know that many Nigerian students are interested in studying in the Czech Republic, and we understand that this may be disappointing news. Unfortunately, the Czech Government Scholarship is not available to applicants from Nigeria this year.
The embassy advised prospective applicants to rely only on information from official sources, such as the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and the Dům zahraniční spolupráce, which provide accurate details on study opportunities for foreign students.
“Please do not rely on information published on unofficial websites stating that Nigeria is eligible for the 2027/2028 Czech Government Scholarship,” the embassy reiterated.
This clarification aims to prevent Nigerian students from acting on false eligibility claims. The embassy thanked Nigerian students for their understanding and wished them success in their academic pursuits.
