of his university studies and even while moving from one university to another, as was more
characteristic for the fi rst half of the seventeenth century. The usual amount of money granted
for studies abroad per year was 50 fl orins although this amount again varied from case to
case. We have cases where students would receive fi nancial support with relative regularity
over several years, and other students who perhaps received a stipend on only one or two
occasions. In the fi rst case, the students would receive established amounts, while in the later
case the amount of money granted could vary depending on various conditions.
The data available still makes it diffi cult to justify drawing any solid conclusions concerning
the average share of different sources of income the student from Košice had at his disposal
in order to pay for his studies. It is not always clear which standards the urban council
applied in determining the amount and duration of each grant. In many cases it appears that
they represented an important supplementary income but hardly ever covered the total cost
of the student’s studies. What is certain in any case is that the urban council played a very
important role in supporting university students and in increasing the popularity of education
among its inhabitants.
