Fulbright/Budapest Semesters in Mathematics-Rényi Institute

This Fulbright award provides an opportunity for U.S. students to spend one academic year (two semesters) at Budapest Semesters in Mathematics (BSM) while participating in its activities. The program is designed for students interested in advanced mathematics study and research in Hungary. If the student is sufficiently advanced, they will join a research group at the prestigious Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics, where BSM and the Rényi Institute will appoint an appropriate research advisor from among their joint faculty and provide proper research services. The award includes full tuition waiver from BSM, monthly stipend, international travel benefits, health coverage, and opportunities for cultural enrichment. Grantees are expected to work independently, take initiative, and serve as cultural ambassadors while engaging deeply with the Hungarian academic community and culture. The program runs from September 2026 through May 2027 and includes comprehensive orientation programs to help grantees adjust to life in Hungary.
