For example, half of the money from the Széchenyi Prize was donated to its former school, the Zsigmond Móricz Reformed Grammar School in Kisújszállás, and the other half to the Csányi Foundation, which helps disadvantaged children. The Bolyai Prize also supported the Regőczi Foundation, which helped children orphaned or half-orphaned by the coronavirus epidemic, and the foundation of the University of Szeged, the company said.
