Tuition Waivers and Rector's Scholarships at Polish Universities: What Indian Students Can Get
Polish public universities rarely discount fees for new non-EU students, but a few run competitions for full tuition waivers, and enrolled students with top results can apply for the rector's scholarship. Here is what we confirmed on official pages.
Every Polish university runs a rector's scholarship for its best students, based on grades and achievements, usually awarded from the second year. Silesian Tech also lists a pro-quality scholarship for the best international students. Social scholarships, based on family income, are generally limited to foreigners with a permanent residence or similar status.

We found no merit discounts for new fee-paying non-EU students at the University of Warsaw or Warsaw University of Technology. If you are offered a "scholarship" for these universities by an agent, ask for the university's written decision.
