Where New International Students at WISP Find Welcome and Scholarship Information

New international students at WISP (Warsaw International Studies in Psychology, University of Warsaw) can start with the Pre-Welcome Days organized online by Welcome Point UW, which the WISP news section announces for newly admitted international students. Current students should watch the same news section for the Rector's Scholarship application window (1–15 October for the 2026/2027 academic year) and for faculty notices such as Dean's Hours.

Pre-Welcome Days: what it is and who it is for

Welcome Point UW runs "Pre-Welcome Days" online for newly admitted international students. According to the WISP announcement, the sessions are designed to give incoming international students essential information and guidance before the academic year begins.

• Who: students who have just been admitted to WISP or another UW programme and are arriving from abroad.
• Format: online sessions organized by Welcome Point UW.
• What you get: practical orientation information and guidance for starting at the university.
• Where it is announced: the news ("Aktualności") section of the WISP site, alongside other student notices.

How to use it

1. Open the WISP homepage and go to the news section.
2. Look for the Pre-Welcome Days 2026 entry and read the full announcement for dates and participation details.
3. Prepare your questions about arrival, enrolment and campus life before the sessions, since they are aimed at newcomers.
4. If you miss the live sessions, check whether Welcome Point UW publishes follow-up information through the same channel.

Expected result: you enter the academic year knowing the key administrative steps and where to ask for help.

Rector's Scholarship: timing and basis

The WISP news section states that from 1 to 15 October, students may submit applications for the Rector's Scholarship for the 2026/2027 academic year. The scholarship rewards outstanding students based on academic averages and additional achievements.

Practical steps

1. Confirm your eligibility and the required documents with the Faculty of Psychology before the window opens — the announcement does not list them.
2. Gather evidence of your average grade and any additional achievements during the first weeks of the semester.
3. Submit within 1–15 October; late applications fall outside the stated window.
4. Keep a copy of your submission in case of follow-up questions.

Common pitfall: treating the October window as flexible. The dates are fixed in the announcement, so plan document collection in advance.

Other notices worth monitoring

The news section also carries faculty-level administrative information. One example is Dean's Hours on 2 November 2026, announced by the Faculty of Psychology. These notices affect when staff are available, so check the news page before planning visits or paperwork around that date.

Where each piece of information lives

For questions the news entries do not answer — such as exact Pre-Welcome Days dates or scholarship document requirements — contact Welcome Point UW or the WISP admissions coordinator rather than relying on second-hand summaries.
