Hungary provides high-quality education in the heart of Europe. Today, there is a growing demand among international students to study in Hungary.

Hungary is among the top countries with the highest number of scientific Nobel Prize Winners per capita, and the bithplace of a number of scientific inventions from Vitamin C to Rubik’s cube and so on.
Each year, thousands of students from all around the world apply for higher educational studies in Hungary. The number of Stipendium Hungaricum scholarships has steadily increased to keep pace with the growing number of applicants every year.
In the 2018/2019 round of applications, more than 4100 scholarships were awarded. In the academic year 2019/2020 more than 5000 students can begin their studies in Hungary in the framework of the Stipendium Hungaricum Programme, which is managed by the Tempus Public Foundation.
There are currently 100 scholarships available to Lao students.
