Transcarpathian Hungarian institutions award academic scholarships

The Ferenc Rákóczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian University and the Beregszász Consulate of Hungary held award ceremonies for two distinct scholarship programs in October 2026.

The “1956 in Transcarpathia” essay competition awarded students for research into the local historical impacts and memories of the 1956 Revolution and War of Independence. A total of 25 entries were submitted from 13 different educational institutions in the region.

Additionally, the 15th jubilee Soós Kálmán Scholarship Program concluded following the Transcarpathian Wandering University event. This program aims to support scientific life and higher education within the Hungarian community in Transcarpathia. The academic series featured lectures on topics ranging from historical manuscript traditions to the critical use of artificial intelligence in the age of AI.
