Only then, i.e. during their actual presence at the Faculty of Education, students can apply for the „local study grant“ – see Article 8 of the Grant Code of the Faculty of Education. This grant is meant to help students with their living expenses in Olomouc, grant amount depends on student´s study results and other study/work activities.
