Message no. 3 Deputy Rector for Student Affairs and Education of 23.03.2020 on scholarships and grants

Dear students and PhD students of the Medical University of Warsaw,
In connection with questions arising, on behalf of the University authorities, I would like to reassure students and PhD students that there is no need to be concerned: all scholarships will be paid on time.

At the same time, I would like to remind you that a student who has found himself in a difficult life situation temporarily may receive a grant from the scholarship fund at the university.

In particular, the basis for applying for support may be the loss of income by a student or a member of his family, caused by restrictions in the functioning of employers related to the epidemic risk.

Similar support is available to PhD students who started their doctoral studies before the academic year 2019/2020.

Payment and benefit granting process

Bearing in mind the well-being of students and PhD students in need of financial support, I would like to inform you that I will make every effort to ensure that during a period of limited functioning of the University, the implementation of tasks related to the granting and payment of scholarships and grants for students and doctoral students is carried out on time and as far as possible without problems.

Applications for benefits should be submitted electronically from the Virtual Dean’s Office, accompanied by scans of the necessary documents, in accordance with the Regulations for benefits for students of the Medical University of Warsaw. (the content of the Regulations and other necessary information are available on the Student Affairs Office website www.bss.wum.edu.pl). The original of the application and attachments should be sent by post. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the phone numbers dedicated to students of individual fields of study, located in the Contact tab or by e-mail to the following address: bss@wum.edu.pl . Doctoral students who started their studies before the academic year 2019/2020 submit applications in the form of a scan to the email bss@wum.edu.pl  with attachments and then send the originals by post.
