- amounts in foreign currency will be converted according to the current Czech National Bank exchange rate on the day of purchase
- a copy of the bank card with the account number, signed by the applicant, or a bank statement showing the account number, name and address of the applicant
Based on the submitted documents, a scholarship is prepared. The student must have a Czech bank account number in SIS, otherwise the scholarship cannot be paid.
Employee

The above documents serve as a basis for reimbursement from the MŠMT, not for the Finance Office to administer the business trip.
