About This Opportunity
Stipendium Hungaricum is the Hungarian government's flagship international scholarship programme, fully funding Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD studies at Hungarian universities for students from partner countries, including Ghana. The programme covers a wide range of fields and is one of the more accessible fully funded European scholarships available to African applicants, given its broad eligibility and relatively straightforward application process.
Eligibility Requirements
- Citizen of a country with an active Stipendium Hungaricum bilateral agreement (Ghana is generally included — confirm current status on the official site)
- Meet the academic entry requirements for your chosen Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD programme
- Apply through the official online application system, often coordinated with your home country's designated sending partner (commonly a ministry of education or similar body)
- Meet English or Hungarian language proficiency requirements depending on your chosen programme's teaching language
What You Get / Benefits
- Full tuition fee waiver for your entire programme duration
- Monthly stipend to cover living expenses
- Contribution toward accommodation costs (dormitory or housing allowance)
- Health insurance coverage for the duration of your studies
- Access to a wide range of degree programmes across Hungarian universities
How to Apply
Tips
- Stipendium Hungaricum allows you to apply to up to two programmes — use this wisely by choosing one ambitious option and one more attainable backup within your field of interest.
- Hungary offers a notably lower cost of living compared to many Western European countries, which can make the monthly stipend stretch further — a practical consideration when comparing scholarship options.
- Confirm whether Ghana requires applications to go through a national sending partner in addition to the online platform, as missing this step can disqualify an otherwise strong application.
