75 students of the Alumni Scholarships Program, who conclude their degree program this year, celebrated their graduation in a ceremony presided over by the Vice President Alumni, Tomás Gómez-Acebo. This year, a total of 380 young people from 26 countries are studying at programs of study thanks to this initiative, a scholarship program aimed at students with good transcript and without sufficient economic resources to pay for a university degree program .

The Alumni Vice President highlighted three characteristics of the Alumni Fellows: "The talent manager, to contribute to the improvement of society; perseverance, core topic to get to where you are; and generosity, the starting point of the Alumni Scholarships". In this sense, in addition to congratulating the new graduates, he invited them to continue with "this chain of solidarity".

Also participating in the graduation ceremony were the Vice-Dean of Students of the School of Education and Psychology and godmother of the XV Promotion, Sonia Rivas; Igor Errasti, Administrator of the University; and Santiago Mateo, student of the double Degree in Pedagogy and Education Primary and representative of the promotion, who showed special thanks to "the donors of the program".

The students that make up the XV Promotion of the Alumni Scholarships Program come from 10 countries: Costa Rica (2), Ecuador (2), Spain (60), Guatemala (2), Mexico (1), Peru (1), Poland (1), Dominican Republic (2), Ukraine (1) and Venezuela (3).

The budget of the program has been 2.5 million euros for this academic year, with an average amount of 7575 euros per scholarship. The initiative is financed thanks to the contributions of more than 9000 alumni, companies and institutions, including Banco Santander, through Santander Universities, Caja Rural de Navarra, IEISA Foundation, the association of Friends of the University of Navarra, Banco Pichincha, Bolar Foundation and ONCE Foundation.

Since the beginning of the year, the "Multiply your donation" campaign has been open, an initiative through which the IEISA Foundation, a collaborating entity, has committed to make an economic contribution based on the total of new donations received from third parties. 

IEISA's financial aid will increase the higher the donations received: from one euro for every three received up to double the contribution if a maximum of 650,000 euros is reached. Contributions to the campaign can be made through the website www.unav.edu/multiplica-tu-donacion.
