University, Profita (UniCamillus) “Deserving non-EU students have been awarded with scholarships. Similar urgent measures for Ukrainian students are under consideration”.
Within the partnership agreement between Banca Intesa Sanpaolo and the International Medical University in Rome UniCamillus, 13 scholarships have been awarded for non-EU deserving students, worth 30 thousand euros.
“These resources can make a difference, considering that these students come from places such as Haiti, Rwanda, Kosovo and Benins: allowing these young people, that would otherwise have had difficulties, to attend a Degree course and train properly in the medical sciences”.
This was declared by UniCamillus’ Rector, Gianni Profita.
“These girls and boys – he continued – will certainly work in Italy for a while and will further train in order to hone their skills, when they will eventually come back to their home countries and actively contribute to the treatment of their own countrymen, especially in those scenarios where the trained medical staff is not enough.
It is precisely in these tragic hours of war and escalation of tension that it is getting evident the value of a single additional doctor, nurse or radiologist”.
“The generosity of Intesa SanPaolo – the Rector concluded”, has been really well-founded, therefore I express my deep gratitude for this commitment made with our University which will contribute to bring some relief, where it is more necessary. Moreover, in these hours we are working on a set of urgent measures for Ukrainian students that will be soon announced”.
