Right to education, without borders

“We’ve had the privilege to study and work. Now, we believe it’s our responsibility to help others who wish to study but don’t have the means. Education is a fundamental right, and supporting young people who seek refuge in our country to pursue their dreams is both an honor and a duty.”

The project

Together for freedom of study and thought: donors who believe in the future

In 2024, the University of Padua was able to award four additional scholarships for students from high-risk backgrounds, thanks to the generous support of private individuals, corporate donors, and service organizations, such as Dr. Mitzi Mariani and Eng. Enrico Rusconi, Lundbeck
Pharmaceuticals Italy S.p.A. and Soroptimist Clubs of the Triveneto.
