Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarships for Doctoral Students 2024/25, Study Free in Hungary.
The Hungarian Government inaugurated the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme in 2013 with the primary objective of providing foreign students the opportunity to pursue higher education studies in Hungary. The central mission of the program is twofold: to augment the count of international students in Hungary and to stimulate Hungarian higher education institutions to attract high-caliber foreign students.
The scholarship initiative is overseen by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and coordinated by the Tempus Public Foundation. The program's foundation is laid upon bilateral educational collaboration agreements signed between Hungary and the sending countries/territories' education ministries. Presently, over 80 Sending Partners from five continents participate in the program, and its geographical scope is continually expanding.
The scholarship program encompasses both full-degree and partial study options within the three-tier degree structure (bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs). Most of the programs are conducted in English, though other foreign language study options are also accessible within the framework of the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme. Students also have the opportunity to apply for a one-year Hungarian language preparatory training course, enabling them to pursue higher education studies in the Hungarian language thereafter.
Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship recipients are encouraged to dedicate themselves to their academic growth during their tenure in Hungary. The program covers all tuition fees, while also providing support for accommodation and living expenses. Upon completion of their studies, graduates possess a European degree, significantly broadening their prospects in the global job market.
Since its inception in 2013, the number of Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship awardees has witnessed substantial growth, concurrently augmenting the ratio of self-paying international students in Hungarian universities. From 2013 to 2019, the proportion of international students enrolled in Hungarian higher education institutions doubled, with the ratio of Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders among them quadrupling. Consequently, the number of study programs offered in foreign languages at Hungarian universities has tripled since 2015.
Both the count of Stipendium Hungaricum applicants and recipients continues to rise, along with the availability of scholarship positions. In 2022, the program received over 50,000 applications and granted nearly 4,900 scholarships. These statistics demonstrate that since its inception, the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship has established itself as a program of excellence.
