Abstract
From 1921 on, the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands had a study fund, especially for Hungarian students. Until the Second World War, about 40 students studied with funding from that scholarship, neatly distributed between the Free University and the Theological School in Kampen. The chairman of the fund was Prof. F.W. Grosheide (1881–1972) of the Free University, its secretary was Rev. H.A. Munnik (1884–1969), from Zwolle. Both were involved in the fund from 1921 on, Grosheide retired in 1952, Munnik a few years later. Munnik became an honorary member of the Association of Hungarian Pastors and Honorary Professor in Debrecen (1938), Grosheide became Honorary Doctor in Sárospatak (1931), Debrecen (1938), and Budapest (1946). This indicates their significance for the Hungarian ministerial corps and for the contacts between Hungary and the Netherlands in those years.

De eredoctoraten zijn keurig verdeeld over de Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland en de Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk
Anders ligt dat bij de ereprofessoraten, maar daarvoor was veel minder aandacht
Summary
From 1921 on, the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands had a study fund, especially for Hungarian students. Aan de VU werd Munnik lid van het dispuut F.O.R.U.M., toen nog een voluit gereformeerd dispuut. Dat was omdat hij bijna veertig jaar lang secretaris was van het studiefonds dat door de Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland in het leven was geroepen om Hongaarse studenten die in Nederland wilden studeren te ondersteunen.
