MONROVIA, Oct. 9 (LINA) – The Governments of Liberia and that of Hungary on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, signed a memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to extend the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Program from 2024 to 2026.

The signing ceremony which took place at the Embassy of Hungary in Accra according to a Foreign Affairs release, is part of a significant move to bolster educational cooperation between the two countries.

Highlighting the Hungaricum scholarship, the dispatch further noted that it is the cornerstone of Hungary’s educational diplomacy, and it offers up to 25 annual scholarships to Liberian students, focusing on fields critical to Liberia’s national development, including Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), Medical and Health Sciences, and Agriculture.

However, the program provides scholarships across multiple levels of study: up to five undergraduates (BA/BSc), up to ten graduates (MA/MSc), up to five one-tier Master’s (OTM) – an integrated academic program where students pursue both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in disciplines such as medicine, architecture, and law—and up to five doctoral scholarships each year.

This extension of the scholarship program reinforces the shared commitment of Liberia and Hungary to deepening their bilateral relationship through educational and professional exchanges.

According to the release, the scholarship is in alignments with the ARREST agenda of President Joseph N. Boakai Sr., which places education at the heart of Liberia’s national development strategy, thereby opening new pathways for Liberians to access global education and positioning them to contribute meaningfully to the country’s growth.

Under the stewardship of Foreign Minister Nyanti, with the guidance of President Boakai Sr., the chief architect of Liberia’s foreign policy, the country’s diplomatic engagements have been marked by a clear focus on fostering strategic international alliances that directly benefit the Liberian people.

This vision and dynamic leadership have ensured that Liberia remains a respected partner within the global community.
