The remaining participants of the STER program will receive the statutory doctoral scholarship.

Some practicalities
Undertaking study abroad is an exciting time, which requires effective and careful step-by-step preparation. Here you may find some info which may help you get ready to visit and study in Poland. However, make sure you go beyond this article to dig deeper into the details, in case you are accepted to come and study in Poland.
VISA for non-EU students
You should contact your local nearest Embassy/Consulate of Poland. The must-be-submitted documents and other specific requirements vary from country to country, therefore it is highly recommended to ask the local Polish Embassy. Although, in every student visa application, the required documents are:
Acceptance letter from the university,
Visa supporting letter,
Medical insurance,
Bank statement meaning proof of sufficient means for living and returning from Poland,
Original passport,
Tickets,
Visa fee,
Visa application.
Remember that a Polish national/student visa allows you to study in Poland and travel for short periods to other Schengen countries only. If you plan to go in and out of Poland many times, apply for a multiple entry visa.
In case of being granted a student visa, when you are traveling to Poland, please carry your acceptance letter from the university. At the border control when entering Poland and consequently the European Union first time, you will be asked about the purpose of your trip and if necessary, requested to provide proof of that purpose.
Insurance
Each student is required to have valid insurance, which entitles you to the use of medical care in Poland, for the duration of the studies. The citizens of the Member States of the European Union should have a European Health Insurance Card / EHIC issued in the country of origin.
