I'm thinking about studying in Hungary and am curious about scholarships for international students. Are there any specific programs or universities known for providing generous scholarships? I'd love to hear from someone who has gone through the application process!
Yes, there are a variety of scholarships available to international students who wish to study in Hungary. These scholarships are offered by both the Hungarian government and individual universities.
The Hungarian government offers the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Program, which is open to international students who want to pursue Bachelor, Master or Doctoral degree programs in Hungary. It covers tuition fees, a monthly stipend for living expenses, accommodation and medical insurance.
Additionally, many universities in Hungary offer their own scholarships. For example, Corvinus University of Budapest has an International Student Scholarship, which covers tuition fees and living expenses, and is provided on a competitive basis. Another example is the University of Debrecen, which offers the Debrecen Scholarship for outstanding academic achievement.
The application process for these scholarships typically involves filling out an application form, submitting academic transcripts and other relevant documents (like a resume or recommendation letters), as well as writing an essay or statement of purpose outlining your academic interests and why you deserve the scholarship.
My advice would be to thoroughly research the scholarships offered by the universities you are applying to as well as the government programs. Start your applications well in advance of the deadlines to give yourself plenty of time to gather your documents and write compelling essays. Good luck!
