The accommodation scholarship can be awarded to students meeting the appropriate conditions. These are defined by the Scholarship Regulations of VSEM.
The accommodation scholarship is paid twice per the calendar year, via bank transfer. The date of the payment depends on the subsidy from MSMT (Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic), which is usually provided in January and on July. In case the subsidy is not provided by MSMT, VSEM is not obliged to pay the scholarship out.
Students must inform the school in writing about any changes having influence on the right to be awarded the accommodation scholarship within 15 days from the time when the situation occurred or when the student learned about it. In case the scholarship is paid to the student who does not fulfil the conditions, the whole of the amount provided will have to be paid back to VSEM.

The scholarship can be awarded for every complete calendar month during which the student satisfies the appropriate conditions.
