Adris Foundation has awarded more than 3 million kn for 40 projects and 28 scholarships

Adris Foundation, the largest corporative foundation in this part of Europe which promotes and encourages innovation and quality in scientific and artistic work, financially supports students and young scientists, protects and promotes Croatian originality, strengthens ecological awareness and gives help to the most needy in the Croatian society.

As a part of projects ‘Knowledge and discovery’, ‘Creation’, ‘Ecology and heritage’ and ‘Goodness’, more than 2 million and 300, 000 kunas and numerous scholarships were awarded to students of all age groups – high school students, pregraduate and graduate students as well as students at postgraduate studies. This is the third year since the Foundation was established, and it has donated almost 14 million kunas. ‘We hope that our donations will improve and enable better conditions for the realisation of these projects, plans and ideas, which will inevitably bring progress to the Croatian society as a whole’, says Zvonimir Mareković from Adris Foundation.

The scholarship-winning students were, of course, the happiest ones. 'I am delighted that they recognized my efforts. In any case, this scholarship will help me finance the further course of my studies. That means that my postgraduate studies will be followed by M.A. and Ph.D.studies, so there's a lot of work in front of me. There are many goals, but the most important thing is that I keep listening to my heart and myself and keep playing for myself and other people', says Petar Čulić, one of the scholarship-winning students. 'I travel a lot from another town and to diferent competitions and seminars, and this financial support means a lot to me. I will probably spend the money on that', Roland Grlica, another scholarship-winning student, added.
