Specialists in the field of agriculture from Kyrgyzstan have received a unique opportunity to participate in a free educational program at leading universities in Hungary. FAO in Kyrgyzstan has announced the start of the application process for a scholarship program organized by the government of Hungary in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations for the academic year 2026-2027.

The program aims to train specialists capable of implementing modern technologies in the agro-industrial sector. This year, three key master's degree programs have been opened:
Agricultural Biotechnology (Saint Istvan Campus, Gödöllő);
Animal Nutrition and Feed Safety (Kaposvár Campus);
Plant Protection (University of Debrecen).
Training will be conducted entirely in English and will last for two years.
All Expenses Covered
The Hungarian side provides full funding for the program, making it accessible for participants. The grant includes:
100% coverage of tuition and registration fees;
Accommodation in student dormitories;
Provision of study materials;
Medical insurance;
A monthly stipend to cover food and personal expenses.

Kyrgyzstan has traditionally been one of the participating countries in the program. Ambitious citizens of the republic with higher education (bachelor's degree or equivalent), proficient in English, and eager to develop agriculture in their country are invited to participate. Over two decades of the program's existence, more than 400 specialists have become "ambassadors of agriculture" and successfully built careers after returning from Europe.
