Every student who doesn't have a registered address in Prague has the right to a housing scholarship (Czech: ubytovací stipendium).
Usually, this is quite a small amount, less than 1000 crowns per month, however, in the current economic situation - a trifle, but pleasant!
In some universities this scholarship is credited automatically to everyone who needs it, but at Charles you need to fill out an application, this needs to be done online, you don't need to go anywhere. And I'll tell you how to do it :)
I hope you can already read Czech, read more about the scholarship here.
To receive this scholarship you must meet these conditions:
1) study in full-time form of study
2) study in Czech language
3) not have a registered address in Prague (being a foreigner fits very well)
It was possible to submit an application approximately from mid-November. Therefore, calmly enroll, get ISIC (this is important!) and wait.
Around November it's worth starting to visit one of the information system pages (analogue of the "studium" system) - "webapps" system. Login and password are the same as usual.
We're interested in the item "ubytovací stipendia". The rest are unlikely to be useful at all.
Then you need to click on the link "podat žádost" (Eng: submit application).
You need to fill in all necessary fields - main thing, don't forget that "trvalý pobýt" is your address in Russia, and also don't forget to specify your bank account (you have one, right?).
In the end, you should receive an email that your application has been positively reviewed, and that we can expect the scholarship.
You don't need to check your account every time - when money arrives, a notification email will also arrive. The scholarship amount, frequency - all this can be viewed where you submitted the application.
As you can see, this year the scholarship amount is only 580 crowns per month, which is of course little, but in Russia I didn't have even that :)
