#NoTalentWithoutAFuture 2021 helps 24 UIC Barcelona students

The #NoTalentWithoutAFuture campaign 2021 was able to help 24 students, twelve of whom have a disability. Thanks to the generosity of individuals, companies and foundations, €13,882 was raised, which has allowed students from every faculty at the University to receive support.

The annual campaign that supports the grants and financial aid programme has strengthened the UIC Barcelona Grants, which aim to benefit talented students facing financial hardship. This initiative, which was first launched in the wake of the pandemic, is now repeated each year with a growing donor base from both within and outside the university community.

A total of 30 individuals and eight companies collaborated in this latest campaign to help make these students’ dreams and vocations a reality. UIC Barcelona would like to thank these people and institutions for their generous contributions, and highlight the real impact it has had on the lives of these students.

We would like to pay a special thanks to the following companies and foundations for their support to the grants and financial aid programme:

ACV Inversores, Banco Santander, Barraquer Ophthalmology Centre, DiverInvest, María Pou Foundation – Lunet, María Teresa Rodó Foundation, Omni Comercial, Torrella Consulting.

The UIC Barcelona grants and financial aid programme is a fundamental component of the university's social commitment. In the 2020-2021 academic year, €5.7 million were invested in promoting academic talent and equal opportunities.
