Applicants must not hold an EKÖP, KDP or EKÖP–KDP scholarship. Applicants must complete the form available in MODULO and upload the required documents and certificates.

All Hungarian state-funded doctoral students with active student status are entitled to a monthly scholarship supplement of HUF 100,000, except students enrolled in cooperative doctoral training. No application through MODULO is required for this supplement.

Doctoral schools will evaluate the Excellence+ applications by 26 October 2026. The scholarships will be paid in November 2026, retroactively from September. Active student status is also required for payment during the spring semester.
