GIVE BACK 2019.
Thanks to the generous support and engagement of CERGE-EI Alumni and the Boards of Nadace CERGE-EI, our first alumni fundraising call managed to raise the sum sufficient to provide a full year fellowship for two students.
Alumni Excellence Fellowship for the 2020/2021.
The Student Support Fund for CERGE-EI Master Students was established in 2019 in order to raise funds for stipends and fellowships. The fellowship is meant for newly enrolled students who were ranked as the very best by the Admission Committee and remain among the top quarter of the first-year cohort based on their cumulative GPA ranking. It can also be awarded to second-year students who manage to pass the complete first-year general exams with a PhD pass and rank among the top three students of their study cohort.
“We are always excited to hear from our alumni, we are proud of their successes, and we always wish them the best. The collected sum is a clear sign that our alumni also care about us as much as we care about them....... The years spent here were a life-changing experience that you will never forget, and we were excited to see how many of you contributed to give that experience to someone else. For us, this is a clear expression of the trust you have in this university, your alma mater. I can promise we will not disappoint you and we will continue to do what we do best - to provide top-quality education and to remain the center of excellence in the field of economic research ....... .”
