The Board of Ivalo & Minik Fonden has at a meeting on 12 September decided to award four grants totaling more than 100,000 danish kroner, which means that the total amount of grants for 2014 is nearly 450,000 danish kroner.
“NunaFonden, Royal Greenland, Royal Arctic Line og GrønlandsBANKENs Erhvervsfond have donated the money we hand out, so it is very much their merit that we can support the ambitious young people. I would like to thank them for their contribution, “says Minik Rosing, who is president of the board. He continues:
“I hope that the grant recipients will have a good time abroad and that they the subsequent return to Greenland and use the knowledge they have acquired.”
