Mission

The mission of the Hungarian-Missouri Educational Partnership is to create global connections through a scholarship program and related activities for participating universities while creating a life changing experience for student scholars.

The goal is to recruit students who seek to fully understand the U.S. free enterprise system and apply that understanding to international entrepreneurship and commerce. The Partnership also facilitates development of undergraduate and faculty exchange programs and study abroad programs with partner universities.

The end result is to shape emerging leaders who will create a lasting bond between the U.S. and Central Europe.

The HMEP internship program is designed to allow the tailoring of education and internships to meet the needs of both sponsors and students. Our goal is to create a pipeline of students seeking higher education and work experience in the United States before returning home to pursue their individual careers. By investing in the next generation we will build and strengthen the educational, cultural and business relationships between the United States and Central Europe.
