In the year 2025 Semmelweis University introduced a new scholarship for international students. The Pannonia In Excellence Scholarship is based on merit. The main purpose of the scholarship is to support the studies of foreign nationals who have obtained student status, providing a great opportunity not only to receive support to get a university degree and pursue the best possible academic results, but also to reach full potential as an individual in sports or the arts.

Foreign nationals holding a student status at Semmelweis University and originating from a specific circle of countries are eligible to apply, provided that they are enrolled in a program taught in either German or English, and began their studies at the Faculty of General Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Health Sciences or the András Pető Faculty of Semmelweis University in or after the first semester of the academic year 2024/2025.

The scholarship is awarded for one year but can be reapplied for after its expiry. It is paid in 12 equal monthly installments, provided the recipient maintains an active student status. Evaluation of performance is determined by academic progress as well as achievements in sports and the arts.
