About the Hungary Scholarship Program
Scholarships for Christian Youth (SCYP) were established in 2017 by the Hungarian government. The Hungarian government’s State Secretariat for the Protection of Persecuted Christians also oversees the country’s Young Christian Scholars Scholarship Programme. As of August 2020, the Scholarship Programme will be coordinated by the Hungary Helps Agency.
The primary goal of the Scholarship Programme for Christian Young People is to give young Christian students from crisis areas and/or countries where they have been threatened with their beliefs the opportunity to study in Hungary.
After finishing their degrees, recipients of these scholarships want to give back to their communities by rebuilding war-torn nations and working to better society and preserve Christian traditions.
Eligible Countries
Citizens of Egypt, the Lebanese Republic, the Republic of Iraq, the State of Israel, Palestine, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Kenya, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, and the Federal Republic of Nigeria are eligible to apply for the scholarship.
