Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme
Students from certain countries may apply for tuition-free education, a monthly stipend, a contribution to accommodation costs, and medical insurance via the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme.
While living expenses in Hungary are lower than the EU average, the monthly stipend in itself is not enough for a decent standard of living, and one may need further support from other sources. The applicant may also contact the prospective supervisor before application whether the supervisor can provide additional support from research grants.
