Our Vision
We envision a world where every Czech and Slovak student has open access to world class education, where financial barriers never limit their potential and ambitions.
Word class education is increasingly out of reach
Since Brexit, undergraduate tuition fees have surged from £9,535 to over £40,000 a year and scholarship opportunities are limited. As a result, UK universities are no longer affordable to many Czech and Slovak students.
Our Mission
To support students from Czechia and Slovakia on their journey towards world-class education, no matter their region, school, or family background.
This strengthens the Czech and Slovak academic communities, fosters innovation across industries, and builds future leaders who bring their skills back home.
Talent growth powered by private funding
At just 15, Bára began her journey in science, working at labs driven by curiosity and discovery. She turned to crowdfunding to fund her place at Oxford. After a successful undergraduate degree, she is now pursuing a PhD in Biochemistry at Oxford.
Funding from private donors opened the doors for her and it can do so for other aspiring students, providing opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

How it works
Our program is designed to make supporting talented students simple, transparent, and impactful. We act as a trusted intermediary between students and donors, ensuring that every contribution directly benefits those in need. Students sign up to our platform, we publish their profiles and share them with our network of potential donors. After connecting them with potential donors, we support all administrative processes, from coordinating agreements to handling tuition payments to make the process hassle-free.
This ensures that your support reaches students efficiently, while giving you full confidence that your generosity is making a real difference.
