Emanoil Gojdu

Among the students who received such scholarships were Traian Vuia, Octavian Goga, Ioan Lupaş, Constantin Daicoviciu, Petru Groza and Victor Babeş.

In 1918, the headquarters of the foundation was moved to Sibiu (Hermannstadt/Nagyszeben) which became part of Romania, although its assets (mostly buildings) remained in Hungary.

According to the 247th article of the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, Hungary was supposed hand over the assets to Romania.

In 2006, an agreement was signed between the two governments, through which the Romanian side would withdraw all claim in favor of a newly established Hungarian-Romanian foundation.

The Romanian Orthodox Church has made public its disagreement with any such compromise, and warned that it would use all legal means to get the assets, as it pretends to be the recipient according to Gojdu's will.
