Who We Support

We support Czech and Slovak students who have received an official offer to a Bachelor’s or Master’s programme at the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge and who require assistance in covering tuition fees.

​

Eligibility Criteria

  • Czech or Slovak citizenship or long-term residency

  • Official offer letter from Oxford or Cambridge (Bachelor or Master only)

  • Demonstrated financial need

  • Strong academic record and a clear motivation for your chosen course

How It Works

Our organisation serves as a connector between students and donors. We are not a traditional scholarship provider: we do not choose recipients, guarantee funding, or define the conditions of support. Instead, donors decide independently which students they wish to support and under what terms.

01

You submit your application

Fill out the application form (link below). Your profile is then reviewed for eligibility and financial need. We conduct a light background check to ensure fairness and to verify that support is truly required.

03

Donors choose whom they wish to support

They may contact you directly or through us. Some donors opt for our standard contract terms; others may propose their own conditions.

05​

The donation agreement is signed

This donation agreement specifies the amount of financial support and the conditions under which you are receiving the financial support

02

Your profile is shared with potential donors

You will be included in one of our donor waves (February, April, June), depending on your application date.

04

You and the donor agree on the form of support

Because donors decide how they support students, conditions may differ. If a donor proposes unclear, unexpected, or uncomfortable terms, you should reach out to us immediately.
We will help mediate and ensure the relationship remains fair and aligned with our mission.

06

Tuition is paid to the university

We take care of the payment of the fees up to the amount that you managed to fundraise.

Applications

Step 1: Prepare Your Documents

You will need:

  • An offer letter from Oxford or Cambridge

  • A recent photo (to go on the website and donor emails)

  • Your 250-word pitch explaining why donors should support you (in Czech)

  • CV or résumé

  • Family background information (parents’ names, employment, family situation)

  • Full financial plan for the entire degree (requested amount, expected family contribution, additional sources)

  • Supporting documents of household financial situation for the last 3 years (employment income, tax returns, benefit statements, etc.)

  • A signed declaration of financial honesty

  • A signed data consent form

​​

Step 2: Submit the Online Application

Link will appear here once we open applications on January 15th

​

Step 3: Respect Deadlines

The sooner the better, but applications must be submitted 25 days before each wave of outbound fundraising emails:

  • Wave I: 31 January

  • Wave II: 31 March

  • Wave III: 31 May

Sponsorship Conditions and Student Expectations

Because support comes directly from donors, conditions of support may vary. However, if the donor decides to donate via our foundation, these funds will be available only to cover tuition fees paid directly to the university.

 

To ensure smooth and effective fundraising, students are expected to:

  • Provide complete and accurate information during the application

  • Communicate promptly with donors (or through us)

  • Submit their tuition invoice on time so we can process payment

  • Respect the terms agreed upon in their donor contract

  • Maintain professional and honest conduct throughout

If a donor suggests unreasonable or unclear conditions, contact us immediately and we will help mediate and ensure the arrangement remains appropriate.

FAQs

What documents do I need to apply?
A full checklist is listed above, including financial documents from the last 3 years.

​

How are students selected?
We confirm eligibility and financial need; donors choose whom they support.

​

Can I apply without an offer letter?
No. You must wait until you receive an official offer from Oxford or Cambridge.

​

Can multiple donors support me?
Yes. Many students receive partial contributions from several donors.

​

What if I require support for multiple years?
Many students begin their studies without knowing how exactly their later years will be funded. We will advertise the student's financial need for their first year and their total support. Once fundraising is successful to a level of the first year, the student can begin their studies and use our platform to fundraise for their later years next.

​

Is funding only for tuition?
Yes. Living costs are not covered (to maintain transparency)

​

Can I ask for help if a donor proposes strange or uncomfortable conditions?
Absolutely. Contact us immediately and we will help mediate.
