The Dr. Elemér and Éva Kiss Scholarship Program was established as a special memorial scholarship by the family and friends of Dr. Elemér and Éva Kiss, of Chevy Chase, MD. Dr. and Mrs. Kiss, members of the Coalition since its founding in 1991, left Hungary after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, and settled with their family in Maryland. They demonstrated a life-long commitment to education both in Hungary and in the United States.
The Hungarian American Coalition first established the Scholarship Fund in 1997, in response to requests from a large number of Hungarian students who had gained acceptance to American colleges and universities, but needed additional financial assistance to complete their studies. Since then, the Coalition has provided partial scholarships each year to outstanding Hungarian students who pursue full-time studies in the United States. The scholarship is given to those who have already won admission to a U.S. university. For more information, visit our website at www.hacusa.org

Join us for the sixth and season closing play of our Embassy Theater Series!
On Friday, December 6 from 2 p.m., we will be screening György Spíró's play, Quartet, directed by László Marton. The professionally recorded show of the Pesti Színház of Budapest will be screened in Hungarian with English subtitles.
A couple is living their everyday life in a block, when a stranger, a Hungarian from America appears on their doorstep claiming that the head of the family saved his life back in 1956. He is here now to express his gratitude, but strangely the paterfamilias doesn't want any of the expensive gifts.
A Spiro show is always an important event on the Hungarian stages, and it is of special significance because he is one of the most outstanding authors of contemporary Hungarian literature. This play brings such big names of the theatre world like András Kern, Enikő Börcsök, Géza Hegedűs D., Edit Balázsovits.
The event is free of charge, but seats are limited! So, please click on 'going' or send us an email to RSVP.was@mfa.gov.hu with your name and number of guests. Doors open at 2:00 p.m., and the screening starts at 2:30 p.m. sharp. https://www.facebook.com/events/1021985584809325/
You might have noticed that this time, the Kossuth House will be our host, so please make sure you arrive at the address indicated above. We advise you to use public transportation or rideshare since very limited street parking is available.
Jön a tél és a hó! Itt meg eladnak leárazott si jegyeket liberty, roundtop, Whitetailhez (plusz néhány helyen PA és NY-ba). December 2 a határidő utánna az árak majdnem duplaznak.
