DR. ELEMER AND EVA KISS SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The Hungarian American Coalition established a Scholarship Fund in 1997 for the purpose of providing partial annual scholarships to 2-4 Hungarian students to pursue studies at U.S. colleges and universities. Since a large number of contributions were received upon the death of Coalition founder, Dr. Elemer Kiss, the Fund was renamed in 2000 in his honor to Dr. Elemer Kiss Scholarship Fund. In honor of Mrs. Eva Kiss who passed away in 2008, the Fund's name has been modified to Dr. Elemer and Eva Kiss Scholarship Fund.
Applicant requirements:
-
must be a citizen of Hungary, or member of an ethnic Hungarian community in Slovakia, Romania, Voivodina, Serbia or Ukraine;

-

-

The average Coalition Scholarship grant is $1,000 per year.
Students awarded scholarships are eligible to apply for the following year, but their application will be considered along with all other new applicants for financial assistance.
Scholarship recipients are asked to provide a copy of their registration form, and are expected to keep the Coalition informed of their academic progress.
