For the fourth consecutive year, the PwC Foundation continues to actively support equal access to education by awarding 14 scholarships to high-achieving first-year students of the University of Cyprus (7) and the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) (7).
The scholarships were granted based on specific criteria relating both to students’ academic performance upon completion of their first year of studies and their socio-economic background, rewarding their effort, excellence and commitment.
This initiative forms part of the “Education and Culture” pillar, one of the three pillars of the PwC Foundation, aiming to empower local communities and improve people’s quality of life.
The scholarship award ceremonies, which have now become an annual institution, took place at the Cyprus University of Technology and the University of Cyprus on 15 and 22 June respectively, in the presence of university representatives, students and their families.
During the ceremony at CUT, Konstantina Logotheti, Director of the PwC Foundation, congratulated the students on their achievements and highlighted the importance of continuous investment in education and the development of young people.
At the ceremony held at the University of Cyprus, Andreas Yiasemides, CEO-elect of PwC Cyprus, presented the scholarships and congratulated the students on their accomplishments, emphasising the important role of knowledge, excellence and lifelong learning.
He noted: “Through the PwC Foundation scholarship programme, we recognise excellence and support young people who possess the skills, integrity and determination to shape their future. Investing in the next generation is an investment in the future of our society.”
With consistency, transparency and a long-term perspective, the PwC Foundation continues to support initiatives that create a positive social impact and provide opportunities for young people to develop, progress and fully realise their potential.
