“Premium Scholarship Program” in Transylvania
organized by the Foundation of Gábor Bethlen College (BGK) in Aiud
2026-2027
The Bethlen Gábor Foundation of the Bethlen Gábor College in Aiud announces the Aracs-Trischler Scholarship, awarded annually by Mr. János Aracs and Mrs. Zsuzsanna Trischler Aracs, who live in Budapest.
Through this scholarship, the couple wishes to support Hungarian-language education in Transylvania while also preserving the memory of their family’s historical struggles.
In the 2026–2027 academic year, two exceptionally talented students will receive support through the Premium Scholarship Program. In the current academic year, one of the scholarships is reserved for a previous beneficiary, while the other is available for application according to the conditions set out below:
The Premium Scholarship Program provides one exceptionally talented and hardworking ninth-grade boarding student with educational support for one academic year. The scholarship covers full board and accommodation, as well as HUF 50,000 in educational materials support.
The scholarship support includes:
- providing the beneficiary student with the necessary school supplies and educational materials;
- covering the cost of meals during weekends if the beneficiary student remains at the boarding school;
- supporting the student’s preparation for various academic competitions and contests through the Bethlen Gábor Foundation, for example by purchasing specialized books.
The Premium Scholarship may be awarded to a ninth-grade boarding student who has achieved the highest academic average at the end of the ninth grade. The scholarship is awarded through a new selection process each year.
The student’s class teacher submits a recommendation for the scholarship, indicating the student’s academic average for the ninth grade and providing details about the student’s activities and achievements during the academic year.
Based on these recommendations, the Scholarship Committee of Bethlen Gábor College and the Board of Trustees of the Bethlen Gábor Foundation decide on the awarding of the Premium Scholarship at the beginning of each academic year, taking the above-mentioned criteria into consideration.
