Priorities
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please note that most of the summer university courses are offered within both the Hungarian State
Scholarship Programme and the Hungarian Diaspora Scholarship Programme.
NEXT TO THE NAME OF THE SUMMER COURSE, YOU CAN SEE WHICH SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMMETHE SUMMER COURSE BELONGS TO. Depending on your citizenship, you might see the same summer

6

course twice; one offered within the Hungarian State Scholarship Programme and another one within
the Hungarian Diaspora Scholarship Programme.
IN THIS CASE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SELECT YOUR COURSES CAREFULLY.
• The Hungarian Diaspora Scholarship Programme is for applicants who have Hungarian roots intheir family (e.g. their grandparents were Hungarian citizens). Having a Hungarian backgroundis the cornerstone of this scholarship programme. Please only select these summer courses if
you do have Hungarian roots. Call for Applications for summer courses within the Hungarian
Diaspora Scholarship Programme:
diasporascholarship.hu/wp-content/uploads/call_for_application_summer_courses.pdf•

The Hungarian State Scholarship Programme is available for other international applicants.
You can select these summer courses even if you do not have Hungarian roots. Call for
Applications for summer courses within the Hungarian State Scholarship Programme:
tka.hu/docs/palyazatok/call_incoming_summer_courses_2024.pdf

Please add your selected summer courses according to this information. It is very important because
the application form, the application documents and therefore the evaluation procedure are different
for the two scholarship programmes. If – based on your citizenship – you have the option to choose
summer courses from both scholarship programmes, the application system is going to assist you increating a separate application form for each scholarship programme.
In this section you need to select the summer courses you would like to apply to.
Each applicant can apply for up to THREE different summer courses, in order of preference. These
three courses can be both at the same Host Institution or at different Host Institutions; it is theapplicants’ decision.
Until the application deadline (28th of March) you can delete any selected programme by clicking on
the trashbox icon and add a new one.

By clicking on the up or down arrows, you are also able to change the order of preference of yourselected summer courses, but you can only change it until the application deadline.
Please note, the order of preference is essential. During the application process, the first selectionand examination process will be conducted for the courses selected as your first choice. The firstpriorities will be considered first and then, only the remaining free places will be filled with those
applicants who are not approved for their first choice of programmes. In this way, the chances ofreceiving the scholarship are relatively higher for the courses selected as first choices because there
are more free places at that time.

Motivation letter
The Motivation letter is one of the most important document during the application process. The
universities are going to form the first opinion about you based on this document, so it is highly
recommended to pay attention to every detail while you are preparing it.
In short, its goal is to answer the question “Why are you a suitable candidate?”
Write in a clear and logical manner and remember, the way you write and present yourself says a lot
about you.

Some tips and hints which will help you to write a proper motivation letter:• Please write at least 1500 characters, but not more than 4000 characters.
• The letter has to be written in English, in Hungarian or in the language of the selected course.
• It is a letter, therefore you must address it to the Hungarian Higher Education Institution towhich you are applying. Do not forget about the date and your signature.
• It should be written in a letter format and the three main parts should be easily separable: 1.
Introduction 2. Content 3. Closing salutation.
• Pay attention to the writing style and grammar. Keep in mind that this is an important section,
because the universities will form their opinion of you based on the motivation letter.
• Provide relevant information which can be important for the university, and indicate clearly
the major you are interested in. Here you can find some usefull question you should answer inyour motivation letter:▪ Why have you chosen to apply to this programme?
▪ Why did you apply to study in Hungary?
▪ What do you expect to gain from your studies?
▪ Why does your background make you a suitable candidate?
▪ How will the programme help you to achieve your goals?
▪ How does your proposed study relate to a particular development, challenge or need at
the global, national, and/or local level?
▪ How will you utilise your new skills and qualifications when you return home?
▪ What challenges would you expect to encounter while studying in a foreign country, andhow could you prepare for these challenges?
• Try to prepare a unique and creative motivation letter. You should try to leave a positive
impression in those who read it and make the selection.
