I'm interested in pursuing my studies in Hungary and was wondering if there are any scholarships targeting international students. Are there any specific programs or organizations I should look into?
Absolutely, there are a number of scholarships available specifically for international students interested in studying in Hungary. Here are some programs to get you started:
1. Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Program: This is a government-funded program for international students. It covers all of the tuition fees, medical insurance, and also provides a monthly stipend for living expenses. You would need to apply by January of the year you plan to start your studies.
2. Ernst Mach Grant: While this is primarily for students from Central and Eastern Europe, exceptional students from other regions can also be considered. The program supports students who wish to undertake a part of their studies in Hungary.
3. Visegrad Fund: This fund provides scholarships for Master's and post-Master's degrees to students from a number of countries, and you should check if your country is one of them.
4. Central European Exchange Program for University Studies (CEEPUS): This one is basically an exchange program operating in Central and Eastern Europe, offering scholarships for periods of one to ten months.
5. Hungarian Diaspora Scholarship: This program is for ethnic Hungarians living outside of Hungary. They offer scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate studies.
Each scholarship will have different requirements, so you should research each one to see if you meet their eligibility criteria. Applying for scholarships can be time-consuming, but the potential benefits make it well worth the effort. Wishing you the very best of luck in your studies and your scholarship applications!
