Yes. 2 of the 4 awards listed for Slovakia are recorded as covering full tuition or as a full ride including living costs. Fully funded awards are the most competitive category, and most require you to hold or be applying for admission to a specific university before you apply for the money.

4 government-funded awards appear on this page, including Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in International Master of Science in Rural Development (IMRD), Scholarships of the Government of the Slovak Republic (ODA), Visegrad Scholarship Program. Government programmes usually carry the largest budgets and the earliest deadlines, and several attach a condition to return home for a set period after graduating.

It depends on the award. University-administered scholarships in Slovakia are usually assessed alongside or after your admission application, so you apply to the programme first. Government and foundation programmes vary: some require proof of admission at the point of application, others issue a conditional award you then take to a university. Each award page on Global Admissions records which applies.

1 of the 4 awards listed here are limited to citizens of particular countries, often through a development or bilateral agreement. The remaining 3 carry no nationality restriction that we could verify, which usually means they are open to any international applicant who meets the academic criteria.
