The Student Support Fund was established in 2019 for CERGE-EI's Master’s students (Master’s in Economics leading to a PhD in Economics, and Master’s in Economic Research) to raise funds for their stipends and fellowships. This support is vital for them to concentrate fully on their studies. It helps CERGE-EI study programs be more competitive with other top programs in attracting the best talents.
