Lieu

Description

Financing part of the costs of third level studies by providing loans to higher education students through Diákhitel Központ Rt. (Diákhitel).

Objectifs

This student loan is in line with the EU priority objective of employment and growth, as it supports access to higher education to an estimated 14% of the qualified Hungarian students, who would not have otherwise the means for financing Higher Education studies. As a result, significant benefits will accrue to Hungarian graduates not only in terms of job opportunities, but also in terms of earnings and thus value-added to the national economy. The operation is taking place at a time of persistent economic crisis. Hungary is facing an unemployment rate of 12%, affecting unevenly the young population, which exhibits an unemployment rate of 26.1%.
