At this point, your application is checked to confirm if it meets the basic eligibility criteria and includes all necessary documents. This phase is crucial because only those application materials are forwarded for the validation of the Diaspora Recommendation Letter, which was successful on the technical check.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>28 February \u2013 Second Round of Selection: Validation of Diaspora Recommendation Letters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the next phase, the valid applications are sent to the Hungarian diplomatic representations to check the Diaspora Recommendation Letter of the applicants. Beyond the content, the recommendation letters are checked if they are issued by a legitimate Hungarian diaspora organization or a Hungarian Diplomatic Representation. Any discrepancies could lead to the rejection of the application.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mid-March to Mid-May \u2013 Third Round of Selection: The Institutional Evaluation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The valid applications then are forwarded to higher education institutions for a professional evaluation. This involves a formal check and, if eligible, participation in institutional entrance examinations. Each applicant can take part in up to two examinations based on their submitted choices. The date and method of the entrance examination vary by each institution. Applicants will be individually informed about further details (e.g., date of examination) directly by their selected institution(s).<\/p>\n<h4>Here are 2 important notes:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>If you applied for a PhD programme, the deadline for uploading the Statement of the Supervisor is 15 March 2025 (if required by the proposed institution).<\/li>\n<li>If you are partaking in a self-financed course and wish to continue your studies with the scholarship, the deadline to upload the institutional reference letter is 15 March 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15155\" src=\"https:\/\/diasporascholarship.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/DFP_timeline_2025_en-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diasporascholarship.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/DFP_timeline_2025_en-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diasporascholarship.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/DFP_timeline_2025_en-1030x685.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/diasporascholarship.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/DFP_timeline_2025_en-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/diasporascholarship.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/DFP_timeline_2025_en-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/diasporascholarship.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/DFP_timeline_2025_en-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/diasporascholarship.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/DFP_timeline_2025_en-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/diasporascholarship.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/DFP_timeline_2025_en-1500x997.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/diasporascholarship.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/DFP_timeline_2025_en-705x469.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>April \u2013 Fourth Round of Selection: Evaluation of Diaspora Motivation Letters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Simultaneously with institutional examinations, Diaspora Motivation Letters are assessed by independent experts from Tempus Public Foundation.
