The Hungarian Government established the Diaspora
Scholarship for members of Hungarian diaspora communities living outside the
European Union, the Republic of Serbia, and Ukraine’s Zakarpattia Oblast, who
wish to study at a Hungarian higher education institution and strengthen their
personal, professional, and cultural ties to Hungary.
The application period is currently open and the deadline for submitting the complete application is 02 February 2026 – 14:00 (2 p.m., Central European Time)
Here are its main benefits:
- tuition exemption;
- monthly stipend;
- accommodation support;
- health insurance;
- travel support.
Important note: Many of these benefits (stipend, accommodation, travel) must be requested during the application process — they are not automatically granted.
