Bilateral state scholarships are based on educational cooperation agreements signed by the governments of two countries. In Hungary, the national scholarship office is Tempus Public Foundation, bilateral scholarship applications are managed by them.
Please note that your country may also have an agency that is responsible for the bilateral scholarship, and we recommend you contact them for more information.
Eligibility criterias
Any citizen of the listed countries of the Call for Application are eligible to apply.
Please read the eligibility criteria carefully, and pay attention to the factors that may exclude the application, such as: e.g: Foreign citizens residing in Hungary, foreign citizens employed by Hungarian employer etc.
1.Being nominated by the home country
In this case, applicants first submit their applications to their national scholarship office, as required by the office. This national agency will then nominate their applicant at Tempus Public Foundation.
2.Submitting an individual application
If nomination by the home country is not a requirement, applicants simply need to submit their applications directly into Tempus Public Foundation’s online system.
Your bilateral scholarship application can be evaluated with a positive outcome, but it will only become effective together with a successful institutional admission result. Please note that the bilateral scholarship application result is communicated by Tempus Public Foundation directly to the applicants, approximately in late May- early June.
