ZUS (Social Insurance Institution) declarations
Since doctoral scholarships are taxable (i.e., disability and pension contributions are paid), you must fill out the appropriate declaration of Social Security when submitting documents to MSD. Please check in advance whether you are covered by health insurance (e.g., by your parents – up to the age of 26, by your spouse or employer).
Please Note! for the purposes of the UW’s financial and accounting system, it is necessary to specify the tax office responsible for you. However, the doctoral scholarship is not taxed and you will not receive a PIT form from the UW for its payment.
Scholarship vs. doctoral students accepted in extramural recruitment
Doctoral students accepted in extramural recruitment (due to e.g., working in a Grant, including Prelude BIS, participation in the “Implementation Doctorate” programme, NAWA programmes) receive a scholarship at a different amount, in accordance with the rules of these programmes/grants.
