PhD Student Salary Adjustment with Minimum Wage Increase in Poland

Cześć! I will be heading to Warsaw next semester as a PhD student with an initial grant of PLN 5000 provided by my professor, which will be adjusted to PLN 3800. I recently came across news that the minimum wage in Poland will be increased from 1st January, with the minimum wage set to rise to PLN 4,242. I am now eager to understand if this increase in the minimum wage will also lead to a raise in my monthly salary.

Where will you live? Will you get your dorm paid?

@Alien Since there is no financial aid available for dormitories, I should rent a room or a studio for myself there.

The stipends are based I think on being 60 percent of a minimum assistant professors salary so it might go up.

There is a plan to increase all educational salaries in 2024 but the President is so far refusing to sign this law.

But you will get a better answer by asking them straight.

I am a PhD student in Poland. I am getting my salary from grant. But I heard the news that the salary of PhD student will increase because the minimum wage in poland has been increased so, my salary will also be increased because I am getting money from grand ?

I haven't asked my future university yet, because I am in the process of getting my official invitation for visa. If you receive an answer for this question from your university or professor, I would be grateful.

Unfortunately I think it will not increase in your particular case because when you get the salary from the grant it's not the minimum wage its a fix money from grant. The minimum wage is considered from the university scholarship and the money from grant is like a salary so I do not think it will increase. if you would be getting universities scholarship which is only possible if you go through the competition, then it will for sure increase.
