Grants worth 300,000 kroner for three skilled students

The Board of Directors of Ivalo & Minik Fonden met in March and decided to allocate three grants for a total value of just over 300,000 kroner. The grants will help to ensure that the three students can have their dream of studying abroad fulfilled. The grants are 100% financed on the basis of donations from Royal Arctic Line A/S, Royal Greenland A/S, GrønlandsBANKEN’s Erhvervsfond and NunaFonden.

Chairman of the Board Minik Rosing states:

“Like every other country, Greenland needs skilled people, and I am therefore pleased that we have the opportunity to contribute to this in the form of grants. In this regard, I would like to thank our contributors who through their donations demonstrate a major social responsibility to contribute to raising the level of education in Greenland. ”
