Scholarship Payment Schedule

Scholarship payment schedule

The Chancellor of the University has published the dates when Scholarship Holder students will receive their scholarship payments in the 2023/24 spring semester. The schedule is set in accordance with Section 97 of ELTE's Academic Regulations.

Expected payment dates

  • 20th February 2024
  • 08th March 2024
  • 10th April 2024
  • 10th May 2024
  • 10th June 2024
  • 10th July 2024
  • 9th August 2024

Keep in mind that the list of student payments is finalized at least a week before this date, so try to keep your data up to date.

For students who applied for an extension for the spring semester (and are no longer eligible for scholarship payments), the last payment was transferred in January 2024.

Technical details

Payments can only be issued to students who have entered their Hungarian bank account number and who also have a permament address and a Hungarian tax identification number in the system. It is the student's responsibility to check and ensure that the right data is kept in Neptun.

A bank account number can be entered under Finances > Settings > Bank accounts > Add bank account number.
The address can be checked under My data > Contact information > Addresses
The tax ID can be checked under My data > Personal Information > Personal Information

Note that payments are processed at least a few days before they are issued, and if you entered your bank account number at the last minute, you might not receive your scholarship payment before the next date.

Separate payments are entered into the Neptun system separately, one by one. All your payments should appear in Neptun about two days before the actual payment date.

If a student is eligible for a payment but it could not be issued at the date for that month, the payment will be attempted again on the next date. Payments are only made on these dates. Some exceptions might apply, for details see the Academic Regulations.

Additional criteria for SH, SCYP and HDS students

Students who are participating in Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship ProgrammeScholarship Programme for Christian Young People and Hungarian Diaspora Scholarship Programme have additional requirements for scholarship eligibility. As stated in the SH Operational Regulations III.3.6. , SCYP Operational Regulations III.3.2. and HDS Operational Regulations IV. 3.6. scholarship holders are required to reside in Hungary in order to be eligible for financial support, as these scholarship programmes are meant to support the students while they are living and studying in the country.

Other rules and restrictions also apply for keeping your scholarship holder status. The scholarship programmes sometimes have additional, stricter expectations than the University's Academic Regulations.
