Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarships Programme for Bachelor and Masters Students, Study in Hungary.
The Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship initiative was established by the Hungarian Government with the goal of internationalizing Hungarian higher education. It aims to attract outstanding students worldwide to pursue their education in Hungary, fostering personal and professional connections to the country while receiving high-quality instruction in the heart of Europe.
Upon completing their studies, scholarship recipients return to their home nations equipped with valuable skills and knowledge. This enables them to foster social, political, and economic ties, thereby enhancing cooperation between Hungary and their home countries. Launched in 2013, the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme provides foreign students the opportunity to undertake higher education studies in Hungary.
Managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and coordinated by the Tempus Public Foundation, the program operates through educational agreements between Hungary and sending countries/territories. Currently active on five continents with over 80 Sending Partners, the program's geographical reach continues to expand.
The scholarship program offers full-degree and partial study options within the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree framework, mainly conducted in English. Additionally, foreign language programs are available through the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme. Students can pursue a year-long Hungarian language preparatory training course before beginning higher education studies in Hungarian.
Scholarship recipients are encouraged to focus on their academic progress while in Hungary, as their tuition fees, accommodation, and living costs are covered. Possessing a European degree upon graduation opens up diverse opportunities in the global job market.
Since its inception in 2013, the number of Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders has grown substantially, leading to an increase in self-paying international students in Hungarian universities. Between 2013 and 2019, the proportion of international students in Hungarian higher education institutions has doubled, with Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship recipients among them quadrupling. Consequently, the count of foreign language study programs taught in Hungarian universities has tripled since 2015.
Both applicants and awardees of the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship have been consistently rising, along with the available scholarship slots. In 2022, the program received more than 500,000 applications and granted nearly 4,900 scholarships.
