Applications for a rector’s scholarship for the academic year 2025/26 should be submitted in the form of an e-application through the mykozminski system.
(The number of semesters of all your studies to date is very important and affects your eligibility for a scholarship! If you have any doubts or cannot remember all your studies in Poland, please contact the Office before submitting your application. We will help you determine your study history in Poland and check the data in the nationwide POLon system).
The application and any attachments must be signed with a qualified electronic signature (e.g. mSzafir) or a one-time qualified electronic signature (e.g. through a bank) or a personal signature (e.g. through eDowód) or a trusted signature (e.g. through mObywatel).
The committee’s decision regarding the scholarship will also be communicated in the mykozminski system — no later than in December this year.

Another way to obtain certificates 5A, B, C, E, F (not from the application) is to click on mykozminski on the left sidebar in “Submit an application”, then select the appropriate certificate (5A or B or C or E and F) from the list of various certificates and send a request for its issuance to the dean's office/CS/ Team; when, after October 9, the student begins to fill out the application for the rector's stipend, after selecting the appropriate basis in the table (e.g., average 5A), they will see a message that the certificate is being processed – waiting time up to 3 days or that it is already ready (if, while filling out the application, the student sends a request for the certificate to be issued from the table of bases, a message will also appear stating that the certificate is being processed and the waiting time is up to 3 days).
Both methods of obtaining certificates will be available from October 9, 2025.
NOTICE! Applies to first-year students of second-cycle (graduate-level) programmes (or first-year students of single-cycle master’s degree programmes if they continue their studies after a first-cycle (undergraduate-level) programme) who completed their first-cycle (graduate-level) programme at a university other than KU: when submitting a request in the mykozminski system to the student office for the issuance of a certificate 5A or 5F, the request must be submitted with a certificate issued by the previous university:
a) confirming the student’s arithmetic grade average with two decimal places, with the second decimal place rounded mathematically based on the third digit; the average calculated on the basis of the sum of grades obtained from all courses included in the programme of study (curriculum) pursued by the student in the academic year 2024/2025, taking into account also the failing grades, divided by the number of grades (if the grounds for the application are the grade average), and
b) providing the following information: grading scale, date of thesis defence, number of semesters completed by the student in the academic year 2024/2025, whether the student repeated a year/semester in the academic year 2024/2025 (with each ground of application).
WHEN?
When to submit applications: from 9 October to 23 October 2025.
Given the fact that the scholarship awarding procedure is competition-based, the date of 23 October is the ultimate deadline for submission. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
Exception:
If the student addresses the relevant student office or to KU Sports Centre or to the Team for the Assessment of Scientific and Artistic Achievements by 20 October with a request for the issuance of certificate 5A or 5B or 5C or 5E or 5F and submits their application after 23 October because they haven’t received the requested certificate before 23 October, the 23 October deadline is considered to be met as long as the application is submitted immediately after the receipt of certificate 5A or 5B or 5C or 5E or 5F — within 24 hours of the appearance of the certificate in the mykozminski system.
Rector’s scholarships are not granted per semester; applications are accepted only once a year, in October.
