The UL Foundation pays tribute to new scholarship holders of the 2022./2023. academic year

On Thursday, the 20th of October, the UL Foundation’s patron scholarship tribute event for new scholarship holders of the 2022./2023. academic year took place in The Great Hall of the University of Latvia. The UL Foundation receives more and more scholarship applications with each year, this year the UL Foundation has received 500 applications and 115 of the applicants have won the patron scholarships.

Scholarships also carry with them ideas and hopes for future opportunities, following excellent achievements and a rich contribution for the benefit of society. The circle of patrons of the University of Latvia and the UL Foundation is expanding every year – it is not only philanthropy, but also a significant appreciation of joint work.

Every year a new scholarship joins the family of the UL Foundation, this year there were 3 of them: Konstantīns Čakste memorial scholarship, Rēzekne’s "Ceļamaize" ("Bread for the Journey") and Gustavs Zemgals memorial scholarship.
