Stipendium Peregrinum

Talented young people may apply for Component B if they have already been admitted – with or without the help of Component A – to the institution of their choice . For successful applicants, the scholarship covers one year’s tuition fees, housing and living expenses, among other things. Phase I of the selection process includes the evaluation of the application submitted, while phase II – in a distilled group – takes place in the framework of a professional selection camp. The final decision – as the joint outcome of the application and the professional selection camp – is adopted by the three-member Selection Board. In 2023, of 150 applicants, 49 had the opportunity to participate in the STIPI talent camp, of whom 24 ultimately received the scholarship. At the camp, young people work for three days in groups, supported by two voluntary instructors for each group. In previous years, the following people acted as instructors, among others: piano artist János Balázs, Mayor of Szekesfehervar András Cser-Palkovics, basketball player Kornél Dávid, nature photographer Bence Máté, opera singer Erika Miklósa, sword fencer Áron Szilágyi, singer Katalin Wolf as well as the Chief Patron of the programme Katalin Novák.
