Further Information on financial provisions
Scholarships of the HSB cannot be awarded concurrently with other scholarships. If a scholarship-holder has another scholarship or other financial support (salary) he has to turn down the HSB scholarship.
The scholarship is meant to cover the living expenses of one person only, so there is no available financing or visa exemption for accompanying members of the family or any other persons. Neither visa related fees nor any other costs related to the grantee’s stay in Hungary shall be compensated for.
Travel Expenses
Travel expenses to Hungary, within Hungary and back to the country of origin are not covered by the Hungarian Scholarship Board.
Health insurance
According to the European Union Council Regulations 1408/71 (EC) and 574/72 (EC), scholarship-holders who are citizens of a European Union member country or EFTA member country with the exception of Switzerland are covered in Hungary by the European Health Insurance Card. The card must be collected in the home country prior to the arrival in Hungary. Citizens of all other countries staying in Hungary for more than 1 month are covered for medical treatment in case of sudden illness. Except emergency cases none of the costs of dental care are covered. Scholarship-holders staying in Hungary for less than 1 month are required to make their own arrangements for insurance coverage.
