Stipendium Hungaricum 2026: Deadline, Eligibility, Benefits

Stipendium Hungaricum is the Hungarian government's scholarship programme for international students, run through the Tempus Public Foundation and offered under bilateral agreements between Hungary and partner countries around the world. It funds all degree levels at Hungarian universities, from bachelor's through to doctoral study, across the full range of subjects taught at Hungary's state universities, and applicants apply through the Study in Hungary online application system after choosing a programme from the Study Finder database. According to the official site, successful applicants have their tuition fees fully covered and receive support toward accommodation costs, either through a place in a university dormitory or a monthly housing contribution, on top of a monthly stipend whose exact current amount is published separately from the main programme overview. At the time of this research, the official site confirmed that applications were open for the 2026/27 scholarship year, for studies starting later in 2026, though the precise closing date and the current list of eligible sending countries were not shown on the pages this research could read directly, so applicants should check the Call for Applications section of the official site for the confirmed current deadline and eligibility before applying.
