Studying abroad is one of the biggest dreams for every graduate. For many, however, financial costs become the main barrier. Hungary stands out by offering a solution — free education and monthly scholarships through the Stipendium Hungaricum program! 

Did you know?
 The scholarship provides 100% free tuition.
 Students don’t pay for tuition, dormitory, or medical insurance.
