  • Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Holder

My journey to Hungary began in September 2024. Despite scoring a 'B' in my Edexcel A-Level Mathematics, I secured a fully funded scholarship before even completing my high school studies. After applying to programs in Hungary, Romania, and Finland—and receiving acceptances from all three—I ultimately chose Hungary for its prestigious Stipendium Hungaricum award. Having navigated this rigorous process firsthand, I know exactly what prospective students need most: reliable information and genuine encouragement. I built this platform to provide exactly that for future applicants.

FAQ

Which countries offer free education in Europe?
Germany and Austria offer free tuition at public universities in 2026. Italy provides subsidized fees and need-based scholarships. Romania and Finland also offer very affordable tuition through government programs. Most European countries offer funded scholarships covering tuition plus a monthly living stipend.
Is IELTS mandatory for studying abroad?
No — IELTS is not strictly mandatory. You can prove English proficiency via TOEFL, Duolingo, PTE Academic, or a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate. Many European universities in Hungary, Romania, and Italy accept MOI letters without any paid test.
What are the most affordable EU countries?
Romania, Lithuania, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, and Italy offer the best balance of low/zero fees and reasonable living costs. Germany remains free at public universities even for international students.
Why use CatchThatScholarship?
It's 100% free and built by Istiak — a 2024 Stipendium Hungaricum Awardee. Unlike counselors charging $500–$1,500, we provide real scholarship info based on actual experience. Everything you need is here at no cost.
Does the website use AI?
No. The scholarship info, guides, and advice are all written from real experience. Our SOP outliner gives you a framework — you write the final essay in your own words. This keeps the platform entirely free.
How do I apply for Stipendium Hungaricum?
The application typically opens in November and closes in mid-January each year. You apply through your home country's sending partner, not directly to a Hungarian university. CatchThatScholarship has a complete guide covering every stage.
