The first semester of the Tomorrow Belongs to You scholarship program concludes

Date: 2024.07.10
All twenty-three participants successfully completed the first semester of the Tomorrow Belongs to You – For the creative talents of the future scholarship programme, launched by MOME for disadvantaged Hungarian high school students with the support of PADME, NTK, and Libri.

The mission of the programme is to put a creative career within the reach of students, and help them pass the admission entrance examination by providing professional and mental preparation. The twelve training weekends were filled with cultural activities, including visits to Ludwig and Light Art Museums, a tour of Budapest, trying rock climbing, rides on the Budapest Eye Ferris wheel, a hike to Hárs Hill, and playing the Balatórium board game. 

The mentorship programmes took place, and students were also given guided tours of the 2024 diploma exhibition. The semester concluded with a picnic together, preceded by a discussion with committee members providing informal feedback on each student's progress and students receiving books that had won the Libri Literary Award as a summer send-off. 

In the next step, in the first week of August, the scholarship recipients will attend a summer camp introducing MOME's programmes to help them choose their preparatory courses more easily.
