Free Tuition, Scholarship and Denominations

Summary/Abstract: The study investigates mechanisms of distribution of student benefits in the years 1850-1918, based on the exhaustive prosopographical data bank of graduating pupils of Hungarian secondary schools. The role of the three main factor observed – the religion, social strata and scholarly performance of pupils – proved to differ largely in different school types. Benefits concerned just one tenth of pupils, though with an increasing trend. In state schools no difference can be detected among denominations, contrary to church schools, where pupils of the maintaing church were always advantaged. Between Roman Catholics, Protestants and Eastern Christians marked trends of segregation can be observed and this applied to the unequal allocation of benefits too. This cannot be observed against Jews at that time, but they could count mostly on tuition wavers only, connected to scholarly excellence, but rarely on grants – especially outside Lutheran schools. Social criteria in the allocation of benefits profited to lower class students and those from families of teachers and clerics.
