GRANTS, PAYMENTS, LAWS - REVIEW AND SUGGESTION FOR STUDENT FINANCING MODELS

Abstract

Topic of the student financing is somehow similar to the one of the football in Hungary; almost everyone has an opinion about it. It is mostly the introduction and abrogation of the tuition fees since when the public opinion has been paying particular attention to the changes. Looking back to the past almost twenty years, the author of the article keeps his eyes on the changes of the national student allowance-fee system. Following a historical-like introduction, he puts forward a proposal to a new model concerning basically the student subsidies not to be refund. According to the new system, the study and social subsidies will help a broader circle - on the other hand a less one than the current proportion - of students, abandoning at the same time the multi-channel, frittered away, non-system approached distribution of the central governmental sources, and the indirect subsidies (for the institutions).
