MENTOR APPLICATION PERIOD IS ON (2024/2025)

The Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship programme provides a chance for foreign students to pursue their education in Hungary. Mentors of the Stipendium Hungaricum Mentor Network complete tasks on peer assistance and on the integration of foreign students coming to Hungary with the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor for the academic year of 2024 and 2025, read the invitation to tender and apply online with a CV,  a motivational letter and a certificate of enrollment/student status proof. Students may apply for mentor positions until 15 MAY. 

The application period is followed by Skype interviews. Please note that such interviews are carried out by the given institutional mentor coordinator who is not obliged to interview all applicants: if some students’ CVs and motivational letters are not acceptable (because of poor English, for instance) the leading mentor has the right to turn down the application.

Before applying, it is strongly recommended to take note of the specifications: the network is looking for full-time students with competent – at least intermediate – knowledge of English. Compared to the previous years, the network had to change its operation due to the current pandemic situation. Please note that we are looking for committed, helpful and friendly students who are willing to participate in online training as well to make sure they will be key assistance points for the coming students. Applications from 2024/2025 semester freshmen will be rejected.    

Following the enrolment, mentors will be paired with their institutional leading mentors. These pairs are responsible for assisting 7-15 foreign mentees. Tasks of the Stipendium Hungaricum mentors include keeping in touch with their mentees, informing them about the current scholarships available in the higher educational institution they study in and assisting their integration into academic life throughout the year. From time to time mentors are asked to send reports to their institutional leading mentors about their work. Without sending such reports their allowances are not provided. Mentors also ought to participate in community-building activities organised for the members of the network and they are welcome to participate in cultural and touristic programmes as long as they help the guides.

If you meet the requirements, wish to help with the integration of foreign students coming to Hungary and would like to get familiar with the many different cultures of the world please apply online: send a CV a letter of motivation and a certificate of enrollment/student status proof by filling the following Google form before 15 MAY: CLICKHERE_LINK
