History
In 2018, HMEP-SLU became the successor organization of the original Hungarian-Missouri Educational Partnership (HMEP). HMEP was formed in 2005 with the support of the U.S. Ambassador to Hungary George H. Walker, Hungarian Ambassador to the U.S. Andras Simonyi, Honorary Consul General of Hungary Joe Adorjan and four participating Missouri universities. The organization was the first academic partnership of its kind, focused on building and strengthening the relationship between Hungary, Central European countries and the United States through higher education. Since its founding, HMEP has provided full scholarships for 30 Central Europeans to obtain MBA degrees and supported 15 undergraduates studying arts and sciences in full-semester exchange programs.
