Schemes to support Hungarians abroad restarting after pandemic
Following a two-year interval caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the Kőrösi Csoma Sándor programme supporting diaspora Hungarians and the Petőfi Sándor programme for small ethnic Hungarian communities in the Carpathian Basin are restarting, the state secretary in charge of policies for Hungarian communities abroad said.
Árpád János Potapi told a press conference that applications are invited from Hungarians aged above 20 with no criminal record who are dedicated to the Hungarian nation and have experience in organising communities.
In the 2022/2023 round of applications, a total of 75 people will be given scholarships from the northern hemisphere under the arrangements of the Kőrösi Csoma programme sending young Hungarians to teach diaspora communities around the world,
he said. Additionally,
50 people will be offered scholarships under the arrangements of the Petőfi programme, he said.
Applications can be submitted online, at www.korosiprogram.hu and www.petofiprogram.hu from Wednesday through midnight on July 15, he added.
