OUR STUDENTS SAY

I applied for the Diaspora Scholarship Program because it gave me the opportunity to be closer to my family and to relatives while it also allowed me to learn more about Hungarian culture. Hunor Szabó Canada When I heard my mum speak Hungarian, I thought I wanted to learn this wonderful sounding language, but I couldn't find a school in Kazakhstan where I could do that. So I was very happy that the Hungarian Diaspora Scholarship finally made my dream come true. Vlada Bocskorás Volkova Kazakhstan The Diaspora Scholarship Program has been an invaluable opportunity to further my academic career and to make lasting connections to Hungarian culture and heritage.

Feeling More Included in the Hungarian Community Motivates Me

After discovering her Hungarian roots as a teenager through her brother, Gabriela embarked on a journey of self-discovery. At first, Hungary was a place she knew very little about, but over time she found a community that helped her connect with the language, the culture, and her own identity. Through the scholarship programme, she built close friendships, learned to navigate life on her own, and experienced a sense of freedom that made her first months in Hungary feel almost surreal.

“It is doable, especially if you enjoy it.”

After moving halfway across the world from New Zealand to Budapest, an ELTE psychology student found continuity, community, and purpose through water polo. Now an active player at ELTE BEAC and a mentor for fellow international students, they reflect on sport as a lifeline, the mental challenges of studying abroad, and what it means to truly feel at home in Hungary.

„The moment you feel scared or awkward – that’s where life begins”

Growing up in South Africa, Emese's connection to Hungary was defined by a name that sounded unusual there, a few Hungarian words, and fragments of family stories. When she began her studies in the country, she was still full of doubts, but she overcame them—and by now, alongside embracing her Hungarian identity, she has also found her professional goals. In our interview with her, we explore the path that led her here, learn how her background in liberal arts influences her architectural studies, and find out which Hungarian building is her favorite.
