The IQS Business Foundation Hosts the Annual Ceremony for Academic Excellence, Financial Aid, and Master's Degree Scholarships

Prospective students 25 October 2023

The Undergraduate, Financial Aid, and Master’s Degree Scholarships Programme and Honorary Distinctions for Final Degree Projects ceremony hosted by the IQS Business Foundation has awarded 45 scholarships for academic year 2023-2024 thanks to the collaboration of 26 sponsoring companies, along with two distinctions awarded by Cáritas Diocesana Barcelona.

The Undergraduate, Financial Aid, and Master's Degree Scholarships Programme and Honorary Distinctions for Final Degree Projects ceremony hosted by the IQS Business Foundation has awarded 45 scholarships for academic year 2023-2024 thanks to the collaboration of 26 sponsoring companies, along with two distinctions awarded by Cáritas Diocesana Barcelona.

The aim of this programme is to renew the IQS Business Foundation's commitment to academic excellence and the education of future professionals as well as fostering relationships between companies and scholarship recipients both in bachelor's and master's degrees.

Held on 19 October, the awards ceremony featured participation by Dr Salvador Borrós, Director of IQS; Dr Jordi Díaz, Dean of the IQS School of Engineering; Dr José Javier Molins, Registrar; Dr Flavio Comin, Dean of the IQS School of Management; and Rosa Curt, Director of the IQS Business Foundation.

The event featured a speech by Albert Rivero, Open Innovation Manager at Worsley and an alumnus from the class of '21, who also earned a scholarship from the company Lucta. He pointed out how the number of companies that give scholarships and students with scholarships has increased in recent years: "it's great work by IQS as well as by students and companies."

Marta Rodríguez, IQS alumna and Director of Marketing & Customer Service Southern Europe with Carburos Metálicos, highlighted the companies that finance the studies of people and, in principle, will not get a direct return as "the commitment is to talent, understood from an ethical basis, and to society, trying to do good without expecting anything in return."

For Cáritas, this awareness is vital.”
