The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) will offer the State Scholarship Fund (IKY) the establishment of twelve scholarships, the same number of students who died in the tragic train accident at Tempe.

It is recalled that AUTH is mourning twelve of its students in the accident at Tempe, where 26 others were injured.

“The request on behalf of AUTH will be to provide twelve scholarships, the same number as missing children. Regardless of which school they come from, they are all children of AUTH,” said Dimitris Kovaios, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, Professor at the Department of Agriculture, a few days ago.

“We, as an institution of higher education, undertake, under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, to establish a scholarship program in order to preserve, as you said, the memory of these children among their colleagues. At the university level, our rector, Mr. Papaioannou, has already taken initiatives and will continue to announce in the next period in the same direction,” said Panagiotis Glavinis, Dean of the Faculty of Law of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, speaking to the ERT.
