‘Tomorrow belongs to you – for the creative talents of the future’ is a 18-month scholarship programme for disadvantaged high school students. Our mission is to put a creative career within their reach, and, by providing professional and mental preparation, help 25 young people each year to pass the admission entrance examination.

“In the 2020s, Hungarian economy, and the Hungarian creative industries in particular, are facing major demographic challenges, while substantial areas of the country and segments of society remain invisible to higher education.

 

This paradox can only be resolved with great care and targeted programmes.

We are now making an innovative and exemplary attempt that can benefit not only the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, but other higher education institutions and the whole of Hungary.”

President of the MOME Foundation, concept owner of the programme
