In the same year, the Foundation received new funding from the central budget. and the real estate on Somlói Road to the Foundation. The Hungarian Parliament transferred 10-10% of the shares of MOL Plc. In 2020, the Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation took the place of the dissolved Tihany Foundation in maintaining the Collegium. The year 2015 was a new milestone in the history of our institution when MCC opened its doors to elementary school students and launched its Primary School Program. In these years, new education programs for young women leaders and the Roma youth were also launched while psychology was added to the curriculum for university students. In the middle of the decade, courses for elementary school students were started as well as public leadership training programs in Transylvania and Transcarpathia. In the 2010s, as MCC expanded, new local high school and university programs were launched in Transylvania, Romania, in Cluj-Napoca, and Odorheiu Secuiesc. In 2009, the Leadership Academy was established. After a year the institute launched a program for high school students, followed by the start of a two-year-long specialization offered to university students in law, economics, social sciences, international relations, and communication. In 2001, a residence hall was established on Somlói Road in Budapest with 47 students. In the 2000s, Miklós Maróth was also among the directors of MCC. Initially, the institution only welcomed high school and university students. The aim of their initiative was to support highly talented young people committed to the prosperity of our country and provide them with complementary training which is not possible within the traditional school system due to a lack of time and resources. In 1996, the founding Tombor family donated a significant amount of money to create an institution for talent development. Due to its close ties to Viktor Orbán's government, its critics describe MCC as a "breeding ground for future Fidesz-friendly elites." The leader of MCC's main board, Balázs Orbán, helped plan the transfer in his concurrent role as state secretary in the office of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán (no relation). In 2020, the MCC received an influx of Hungarian government funds and assets valued at US$ 1.7 billion. In addition to its training programs, MCC operates various mobility and scholarship programs, publishes books and scientific articles, organizes international and domestic conferences and forums to promote democratic dialogues and discussions. It serves as a student dormitory, scholarship program and a private educational institution aiming to provide academic education beyond the traditional framework to students of all ages from Hungary and abroad. Founded in 1996, it was initially directed at university students in the arts and social sciences.
