Cost & Scholarship
The grantee will receive:
- a total of 9647 PLN if the duration of the research visit to Poland is three months or, if the duration is shorter, an amount of money proportional to the duration (the grantee will have to pay revenue tax on this money, either in his country of residence or in Poland);
- paid-up accommodation in Warsaw or reimbursement of accommodation expenses during his/her stay in Poland;
- travel costs for one trip from the place of residence to Warsaw and back; and
- reimbursement of the cost of insurance covering emergency medical treatment in Poland. The Foundation will allocate 1071 PLN for the purchase of books or other material useful to the grantee's research.
If the grantee needs an intensive course of Polish, the Foundation will bear the cost of the course.
The Foundation may cease to deliver the money and services promised if the grantee:
- fails to pursue the objectives, for the accomplishment of which he/she receives the research grant, in particular, fails to conduct academic research in Poland;
- fails to purchase insurance covering emergency medical treatment in Poland; or
- is in gross breach of the principles of academic integrity or of social norms.
