“One of the keys to our growth is making personalised talent development accessible to as many talented and hardworking students as possible. We, as donors, can help advance this mission by supporting the Milestone Institute’s scholarship programme.”
– Anikó Egyedi, Goodwill Ambassador of Milestone Institute
WE CREATE OPPORTUNITIES
Our mission is to educate the future thinkers and leaders who will meet the challenges of the 21st century and shape tomorrow’s Hungary. We believe that this requires leaders and communities that include people from all walks of life, from all backgrounds and experiences. To achieve our mission, we need to break through glass ceilings and create opportunities for all committed students, regardless of their background or financial situation, to receive an adequate education.
Let us all work together to shape the Hungary of tomorrow!
As a non-profit organisation, we provide scholarships for our students partly from our own resources and partly from donations, so we welcome contributions of any amount.

WHO DO WE SUPPORT?
Through our scholarship programme, the Milestone Institute has supported the studies of 477 students since its foundation, usually over several academic years, for a total of more than HUF 150 million.
All of our scholarships are needs-based, enabling young people to participate in our educational programmes who would otherwise not be able to study at our Institute, or would face great difficulties in doing so. Our students usually apply for Needs-based Scholarships, which offer partial tuition fee reductions, or also for Bridge Scholarships, which offer full tuition fee waivers – find out more about our scholarship scheme here.

Bridge Scholarship
Access Programme 2022-2023 and Junior Programme 2023-2024
“The Bridge scholarship allowed me to find my passion, social sciences, and engage in activities within this field. What I enjoy the most, is the ability to freely think and express my thoughts in the form of essays, presentations, and debates. Milestone, more specifically the passionate module leaders, and my mentor support me in every project I have in mind. All the mentoring sessions and modules contributed to my academic journey toward my dream university. The most important skill I developed at Milestone is critical thinking. I enjoy working on challenging materials and finding ways to form my opinion and express it.”
Bence Viktor Tóth
Bridge Scholarship
Junior Program 2025/26
“I’ve been studying at Milestone for three years now, and I’ve gained so many new experiences. I’ve learned how to write essays, conduct anthropological research, debate, and—last but not least—how to excel in international competitions. I’ve met amazing people whom I’m proud to call my friends. I also had the chance to try myself as a student leader and discovered my deep interest in political and social sciences. Overall, I can only speak positively about my time at Milestone, and I’m truly happy to be a Bridge Scholarship recipient.”
Reesu Shrestha
Needs-based Scholarship and Milestone Fellowship
Junior Program 2025/26
“Milestone felt like an odyssey to me – it pulled me out of my comfort zone and opened up a world full of opportunities. Looking back, I’ve grown tremendously, but that also meant I had to let go of procrastination. (…) Socially, it had a big impact on me. Through the societies, I made friends who share my interests. The modules require a lot of time and effort, but it’s worth it – I get to study what truly excites me. (…) During the Sophomore Quest, my essay writing improved a lot, supported by my passion for literature. I also became more confident in public speaking – not overnight, but now I feel much more comfortable speaking up in class.”
Gergő Tóth-Göde
Bridge Scholarship
Junior Programme 2022-2023 and Senior Programme 2023-2024
“From Milestone, I gained everything that my traditional high school couldn’t offer me. Here, I could study things that truly interested me, things that I otherwise wouldn’t have had access to as a teenager. It opened so many new doors for me, introducing me not only to the world of universities abroad but also to countless competitions and challenges I would never have even heard of in high school. Moreover, it gave me a safe space, embodied both in the building itself and the community within it. I had a place I could go anytime, knowing I’d be surrounded by like-minded people, people I could talk to about everyday little things or even the complex processes shaping the world at any given moment.”
