The BiaFuS Scholarships Program is a joint program of our Foundation and the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Scholarships of 5 226 PLN per month after mandatory taxes /deductions will be awarded to the  most outstanding candidates from Belarus accepted to the GSSR doctoral school in the 2022 application round. Preference was given to active citizens currently living in Belarus who plan academic research projects also relevant to the development of their countries, and who have not completed Masters studies in Poland.

BiaFuS Scholarships are payable for 12 months of each academic year of the PhD program. Stipend holders are required also to take part in some events organized in the framework of the Lane Kirkland Program including parts of the orientation program in the second part of September 2022, a Polish language course, and 3 meetings of Program participants held in different Polish towns.

Language requirements

Knowledge of the English language is one of the basic conditions for admission to the doctoral studies at GSSR. During the individual interviews each candidate has to display a level of knowledge of the English language allowing them to conduct research and take part in classes held in that language.
