Abstract

The part of university studies is an important stage for development, but on the other hand also a financial burden directly and indirectly.
Students face a host of costs, which are directly related to studies such as tuition fees and some partially or completely independent costs associated with the associated costs of studies. The data show that one third of students are affected by financial difficulties.The largest share in the financing of university studies is borne by family contributions and in special cases the state contribution also occupies a significant weight. The state contribution is given mainly through exemption from fees as well as financial scholarships.

Keywords: financial burden, tuition fees, financial scholarships.
