Stipendium Hungaricum, the most prestigious higher education scholarship programme of the Hungarian Government, offers a wide range of courses for international students of excellent academic track record. The scholarship aims to support the internationalization of the Hungarian higher education and its constant development, to strengthen international relations of the academic and research community, and to promote the good reputation and competitiveness of Hungarian higher education throughout the world.
Mission of the Programme
The Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship programme was established in 2013 by the Hungarian Government to promote the internationalisation of Hungarian higher education and to attract top foreign students from all around the world who can establish personal and professional attachments to Hungary while enjoying high quality education in the heart of Europe.
