The scholarship programme is open for citizens of those countries with the Hungarian Ministry of Education has agreed to a co-operation programme. In cases where the number of foreign scholarship holders is fixed, due to previously agreed upon programmes still in force in 2010, this will be taken into consideration by the HSB during the validity period of the co-operation programme when awarding future scholarships.
