Become the Face of Stipendium Hungaricum: Share Your Student Life in Hungary
Are You Studying in Hungary as a Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Holder? Share Your Story and Help Others!
Call for Video Submissions
When you applied for the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme, you probably had many questions and uncertainties. What is student life really like? What will life in Hungary be like? Will it be easy to adapt? Is it worth moving abroad to pursue your dreams?
Today, many prospective students are looking for answers to these same questions.
That is why we invite you to share your story and show what it is really like to study and live in Hungary as an international student. An honest video can offer more than any brochure or information guide. It can help someone find answers to their questions, gain confidence, and make a decision that could shape their future.
Tell us about your experiences, challenges, achievements, friendships, and the moments that have made your time in Hungary memorable. Show, from your own perspective, what university life and everyday experiences are really like.
The Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme enables thousands of international students each year to pursue their studies in Hungary. Selected videos may be published on the official communication channels of Study in Hungary and Stipendium Hungaricum, offering prospective applicants authentic insights into student life in Hungary.
We will publish the videos deemed the best on the Tempus Public Foundation’s Study in Hungary and/or Stipendium Hungaricum communication channels (website, social media), so they can reach even more people! Your story could be the reason someone decides to apply.
