Hungary is gaining popularity as a study destination for international students, thanks in large part to the prestigious Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship. Named from the Latin term for “Hungarian Scholarship,” this program is designed to support talented students from around the world in pursuing their studies in Hungary.
The Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship offers comprehensive financial support, covering tuition fees, medical insurance, and a monthly allowance for housing and living expenses. Each year, around 5,000 students from over 70 partner countries are awarded this scholarship, allowing them to study in various Hungarian universities.
Eligibility for the Stipendium Hungaricum depends on the specific cooperation programs between Hungary and the applicant's home country. Students are encouraged to research these partnerships to understand which study programs are available to them. Typically, applicants must submit all required documents by mid-January to be considered for the scholarship for studies beginning later that year.
With its generous benefits and the chance to study in a culturally rich European country, the Stipendium Hungaricum continues to attract students worldwide, strengthening Hungary’s status as a key destination for higher education.
