Interest-free loan for employees

UP employees who find themselves in a difficult situation can apply for an interest-free repayable loan to bridge their difficult financial situation up to CZK 20,000 by means of a written application. More information can be found in this internal standard (article 3, point 7; in Czech).

Contribution from the fund-raising campaign

Applications for contributions from this source are currently suspended due to the depletion of funds in the fundraising account.

For students and staff who have Ukrainian citizenship, another way of assistance is available. This is a contribution from a public fund-raising campaign, to which students, employees, alumni and other supporters of UP contribute. You can apply for a contribution using the Žádost o finanční podporu z veřejné sbírky form, which you can find after logging in to the Electronic forms system in UP Portal. Then send it to lenka.dolezelova@upol.cz. Funding will be granted according to the current amount of funds in the fundraising account and the date of receipt of your request, but in any case we will try to help you. The only condition for submitting an application is Ukrainian citizenship.
