Annual Awards

The annual awards project “Chance for the Talent” aims to support the training and performance of talented children and young people in the sciences, humanities, arts, technology as a stage in the process of continuous learning, education and development. For 15 years we have supported individual awards and distinctions for talented children and young people. Over 85 children from across the country have been honored through the Awards, Scholarships and Honors program, and 12 of them have won the Foundation’s Chance for Talent Grand Prize.

Awards included:

Two cash prizes (up to 300 euros) for young people with financial difficulties who have achieved significant success in science or the arts
Two individual cash prizes (up to 285 euros) for outstanding performance in national or international Olympiads, competitions and contests
