In 2021, the Stipendium Hungaricum Student Excellence Award was introduced to celebrate scholarship holders for their outstanding academic performance and their contribution to the development of the international Stipendium Hungaricum community. In addition to the Student Excellence Award, the Stipendium Hungaricum Hungarian Excellence Award was established three years ago to recognise scholarship holders who pursue full-degree programmes in Hungarian or who have completed a Hungarian language preparatory course.
With this page, we aim to highlight the achievements and the students behind these prestigious recognitions.

“From Nigeria to Hungary proving that “every setback is a setup for a comeback.”
“Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.”
“Clicking ‘apply’ opened doors to opportunities and changed my life — even small acts of courage can change everything.”
