The conditions of the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship have been changed for the 2025/26 academic year..

• Scholarship Duration: The maximum duration has been shortened from 8 months to 5 months, affecting the length of financial support available.​

• Monthly Stipend: The monthly stipend is now set at HUF 43,700 for the entire scholarship period, which may impact budgeting plans for students.​

•  Medical Insurance Coverage: The medical insurance provision has been decreased from HUF 65,000 to HUF 32,500, with arrangements made by the host institution through a Social Security Card.

• Graduation Allowance: Recipients of the Dissertation Scholarship will not be eligible for the one-time HUF 400,000 graduation allowance upon completion of their defense, a policy that remains unchanged.
