From September 11 to October 10, the application period for the Alfami Foundation scholarships remains open.
For the current academic year 2017/2018, the Caravaqueña Foundation allocates a total of 25,000 euros to its study grants, addressed to students of the municipality of Caravaca de la Cruz, who attend primary and secondary education, university studies, vocational training and teaching special regime, such as Music, Dance, Languages ​​or Fine Arts.
Those interested should go to the General Registry of the City, where the application forms and the rules governing the call are available.
The amounts that can be chosen are 90 euros for students who study basic education;
200 for post-compulsory education and 700 for university studies.
Scholarships will be awarded until the credit available in this call is exhausted, preferably being awarded to the best academic records.
The foundation's board of trustees also takes into account other aspects such as whether the student belongs to a large family or a single parent, that the parents are unemployed or that one of the family members is handicapped.
The Alfami foundation fulfills the will of Alfonso López Álvarez, whose will was to create a foundation of charitable character destined to support students without resources.
Its main purpose, as its statutes expressly stipulate, is "to give light to privileged intellects and obscured by the lack of economic means by means of scholarships for subsidies that facilitate the carrying out of their studies."
The Alfami scholarships were awarded for the first time in 1989. Since then, the foundation has awarded more than 2,000 financial aid to students from Caravelas, for an amount exceeding 660,000 euros.
