One of the Carpathian Foundation’s main objectives is to encourage talented but disadvantaged students to complete their university studies and stay in the region they live (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Hajdú-Bihar, Heves, Jász- Nagykun-Szolnok, Nógrád, and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg Counties).
For its fulfillment goal the Foundation has launched a scholarship Program that aims to
- improve the participating students’ regional and social identities,
- develop skills that can help students to access the labour market.
The idea of the Carpathian Equal Opportunities Scholarship Program came from Mr. Fred Robey who is a committed donor of the Carpathian Foundation Network; in 2005 he donated 100,000 USD to launch the fund. It was the donator wish to start a 5-year education sponsorship program in five countries of the Carpathian region.
The three main elements of the Program:
- Financial support: Every participant is granted
- Tutorial support: The participants receive mentoring help from a personal tutor (university professor).
- Participants’ volunteer work: Participants, based on their study profile and in co-operation with a local civil organization, agree to work out and manage a one year volunteer project called ‘For the region in the region’.
Achievements
2006/2007, the first year of the Program was a pilot year, when, we chose one or two high talented students from each of the participating countries. In June 2007 the completion of this trial year was successful.
In 2011 by the supportion of the Duropack-Starpack Ltd. the Program had been extended to the Eszterházy Károly College (Eger) besides the University of Miskolc in Hungary. From 2012 only Mr. Fred Robey supported the program financially.
