We do not motivate students to learn English. We motivate them to reach a level that opens up the world for them.
Lingua Franca Stipendium_Lenky Foltýnové Glacové
Since its beginning, the FF Endowment Fund fund has been dedicated to the LFS_LFG project to support language education of secondary school students. By means of competition, it aims for compensation of the insufficient level of English language graduation skills (currently B1 or B2) in the Czech Republic.
The project has long been motivating young students from the Czech Republic so that after completing their secondary education, they have the language proficiency that will enable them to continue their studies abroad and, above all, to compete in the highly competitive job market in the Czech Republic, the EU or anywhere in the world.
Selected successful candidates are awarded the 100 % of the CAE language exam fee by the LFS_LFG.
What should I do if I am interested in applying for a scholarship?
Interested students from cooperating secondary schools can register using the application form available via the button below. Submission of a cover letter, one A4 page in PDF format, is an integral part of the application form.
The completed form and the motivation letter must be submitted by 01.10. to 01.03. of the current school year.
The name of the attached PDF file has to be in this format: name.surnameMDLFSxxxx.pdf

*The number of scholarships listed is the minimum guaranteed number for the given school year. The FF Endowment Fund continuously reaches out to and negotiates with sponsors, applies for grants, etc. The final number of scholarships therefore regularly increases. In previous years, the NF FF awarded scholarships to approximately 50% of the students who applied in each school year.
Only students from the secondary schools listed below can apply for the LFS_LFG.
