Anglo-American University in Prague Merit-Based Scholarship
Merit-Based Scholarship Overview
The Merit-Based Scholarship (MBS) honors students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance during their time at AAU and meet certain criteria detailed in the Scholarship Policy.
Funding Allocation
Every term, AAU allocates 5.0% of tuition revenues from degree-seeking students to the MBS fund. This fund is managed separately at each school, with tuition revenues collected from students being reserved for use by their respective schools. The MBS applies strictly to tuition and does not cover AAU fees.
Eligibility
To qualify for the MBS, students must:
- Be enrolled in an AAU degree program
- Have completed a minimum of 60 ECTS credits or 30 US credits at AAU
Conditions
- Completion of at least five credit courses in the previous semester, with a minimum of four courses during the obligatory term (i.e. spring or fall term).
- No “incomplete” grades, unless within the 6th course in the semester.
- The student must enroll in all letter-grade courses without opting for a pass/fail grading option.
- For returning exchange students, all five courses must be transferred for eligibility in the next term.
- The MBS covers all registered courses in the given term.
- Students returning from a leave of absence remain eligible based on their GPA before the interruption.
Disbursement Criteria
| Ranking within School | Scholarship Amount |
|---|---|
| Top 2% | 100% of tuition |
| Top 4% (excluding those in previous category) | 50% of tuition |
| Top 8% (excluding those in previous categories) | 25% of tuition |
| Remaining students (until MBS fund is exhausted) | 10% of tuition |
Calculation and Adjustment
- Scholarship values are computed within three weeks following the conclusion of the add/drop period.
- Students who register for courses in the next semester prior to the end of the current semester are assigned tuition that does not yet reflect the Merit-Based Scholarship. Eligible students who have already paid tuition may elect to receive either a refund or tuition credit for future studies.

| Second highest average marks | 40% of the Law Scholarship Fund |
| Third highest average marks (if applicable) | Remaining funds |
