Welcome to ASSIST Hungary
ASSIST Hungary was established to help young Hungarian students currently in the 10th grade who would like to spend one year as exchange students in the United States as 11th graders. There are also some opportunities available for students entering the 12th grade and as postgraduate students.
Our work in eastern and central Europe began in Hungary in the 1990-1991 academic year with the support of the Open Society Institute and Soros Foundation. Our first Hungarian scholars distinguished themselves in their American independent schools, and ultimately 139 Hungarian students have studied in the States under our auspices.
