Deadlines for this scholarship
An award closing is only the first of the dates that matter. After it there is the deposit that keeps your place, the unconditional offer the funder wants to see before it pays, and a last day to arrive and register. Where the funder publishes none of these, the row says so — a blank is what the official page actually says, not something we have left out.
No closing date published. This funder sets its closing date per country, or opens the call only when the cycle begins. Send us your documents and we will apply the moment your country’s window opens.
Who can apply
Pakistan (sending partner: Higher Education Commission), India (University Grants Commission), Bangladesh (Secondary and Higher Education Division, Ministry of Education), UAE (Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research) and Oman (Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation) are all listed sending-partner countries; Qatar and Saudi Arabia are not on the sending-partner list, so their nationals have no route into the programme.
What the award is
Hungary's national full-degree scholarship for international students, operated by Tempus Public Foundation under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade: tuition-free education, a monthly stipend, a free dormitory place or housing contribution and medical insurance (figures quoted from the official stipendiumhungaricum.hu pages). It is nomination-based - the applicant registers in the Hungarian online system and must also be forwarded by an eligible sending partner; Pakistan appears on the official partners list and the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan runs the Pakistani side of the call. The 2026/27 call closed on 15 January 2026 at 14:00 CET; as of late October 2026 the site had not published the 2027/28 dates (the previous call opened 17 November 2025, and the application system usually opens in mid-November). Official source: https://stipendiumhungaricum.hu/apply/ (checked 29 October 2026). In full: (HUF 43,700 at bachelor/master level, HUF 140,000-180,000 at doctoral level) + dormitory place or accommodation contribution of HUF 40,000 per month + medical insurance.Where these dates came from
Blank: the 2027-entry (2027/2028) round has not been announced yet - Tempus Public Foundation's official programme site still carries the closed 2026/2027 call, whose only stated deadline is "15th January 2026, 2 pm (CET) APPLICATION DEADLINE ... Please read the Call for Applications 2026/2027", and the newest item in its news list is dated 22 May 2026, so that 2026-cycle date cannot go into a 2027 row and no 2027/28 opening window is published. The earliest-closing rule cannot be applied either, because the per-country notes on the partners list quote 2026/27 dates only (Pakistan: "The deadline for submission of applications to HEC is the same as that for the Hungarian side"; Bangladesh: "Deadline to the Sending Partner is the same as to Tempus Public Foundation"; another partner: "The deadline for submitting applications is January 15, 2026"), and the cas_deadline is deliberately empty since the funder states an admission letter is not needed to apply - "No - by the application deadline they do not. Admission examinations will take place later, between March-May" — https://stipendiumhungaricum.hu/apply/, https://stipendiumhungaricum.hu/news/ and https://stipendiumhungaricum.hu/partners (checked 30 October 2026). www.studyinhungary.hu itself, the portal that carries the country-specific closing-date table, would not open from this network (HTTP 403 on the site root, 404 on every scholarship path tried), so its country table could not be read.
