Application Process

Semmelweis University in Budapest awards the Scholarship for Outstanding Academic Achievement to its top-performing Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences students each semester.

This is a merit-based cash award paid directly to currently enrolled students who reach a very high grade average, rather than an admissions scholarship for new or prospective applicants.

Applications for the semester round covering this cycle open on 15 September 2026 and are submitted electronically through the university’s Neptun student portal.
