About the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship
A world of opportunities through education
The Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme is the Hungarian Government's flagship international scholarship initiative, offering talented students from around the world the opportunity to pursue higher education in Hungary.
Established in 2013, the programme aims to strengthen international academic cooperation, promote the globalisation of Hungarian higher education, and build lasting connections between Hungary and its partner countries.
