The essay is dedicated to the educational foundation of Nicolaus Walter of Waltersperk († 1578), which was established at the Prague Utraquist university as a response to his testament from 1577. The first part of the study, which is based on an analysis of extant official sources, concerns on personal aspects of the founder and circumstances leading to establishment of the foundation. The second part concentrates on the scholarship holders (eighteen persons registered by their names for the period of 1600–1614). Their geographical, linguistic-ethnic and confessional composition as well as their subsequent careers were analysed.
