Overview

The CEEPUS (Central European Exchange Program for University Studies) Scholarship Program offers fully funded academic mobility opportunities in Hungary. It aims to foster academic collaboration and cultural exchange within Central Europe and the Western Balkans. The program supports students and university teachers from member countries and also allows students from non-member countries to apply as "Freemovers." Mobility options include semester-long exchanges, short-term research, summer schools, thesis preparation, and internships at Hungarian universities.

Coverage

This is a fully funded scholarship. Benefits include a full monthly stipend, which is determined by the Hungarian host university based on the local cost of living. Accommodation is either free or subsidized, depending on the host institution. Scholarship recipients also receive support for short-term research and internships, access to university amenities like libraries and labs, and opportunities for academic credit transfer. There are no tuition fees associated with the program.

Eligibility

Ethiopian students are eligible to apply for this scholarship as "Freemovers." While the program primarily targets students and teachers from CEEPUS member countries (Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia), students from non-member countries can apply for a CEEPUS Freemover scholarship if their home university does not participate in a CEEPUS network. Applicants can be Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD students, as well as university teachers.

Requirements

Specific document requirements are not clearly stated in the provided content. Generally, applicants would need to meet the academic criteria set by the CEEPUS program and the specific Hungarian host university. The home institution may also stipulate further requirements for selecting students/teachers.

How to apply

To apply for the CEEPUS Scholarship Program, you must use the official CEEPUS online application system. Visit the Study in Hungary website (studyinhungary.hu) and follow the "Apply here!" link, which will direct you to the CEEPUS application portal (ceepus.info).

Notes

The scholarship amount is tailored to local living standards in Hungary and is paid through the host university. The program provides an excellent opportunity to gain international academic experience, broaden your network, and experience European culture. The CEEPUS program supports various types of mobility, including student mobility (semester-long, short-term), teacher mobility, and freemover mobility.
