Stipendium Hungaricum
The Hungarian Government established the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship programme in 2013 to promote the internationalisation of Hungarian higher education and to attract top international students from all around the world.
It is based on bilateral education agreements between Hungary and the governments of the sending countries. It is available on five continents in over 90 countries, attracting tens of thousands of international students each year.
Stipendium Hungaricum application for the 2024-2025 academic year is now closed. The next application cycle for SH scholarship will start in November 2024.
