HF – Hillsdale Scholarship

As part of its Liberty Bridge Program, the Hungary Foundation is pleased to announce a fully-funded scholarship opportunity for young Hungarians to study for two semesters at Hillsdale College in the 2021/2022 academic year.

Founded in 1844, Hillsdale College is a selective, top-ranked college located in Hillsdale, Michigan, known for its commitment to the classical liberal arts and for its independence from US government funding.

The Hungary Foundation scholarship will cover the full tuition and living expenses for the period of one academic year at Hillsdale College for Hungarian students currently enrolled in undergraduate programs in Hungary.

For this fellowship, we are looking for intellectually serious, highly-motivated Hungarian students with an outstanding academic record and the drive to be future bridge builders between Hungary and the US.

Scholarship recipients will be required to take a core group of classes at Hillsdale on the foundations of the American political system but otherwise will be free to choose their classes.

Selected applicants will be invited to participate in all Hungary Foundation-organized professional development, networking events, and leadership programs in Washington DC., and will enjoy tailored mentorship and staff support to help the initial onboarding and settling-in process and will be provided mentorship and assistance during their entire stay.

The short essay must be in English and no longer than 500 words.
