The Republican Committee of the Azerbaijan Free Trade Union of Education Workers (ATIAHI) held a ceremony to present the “Named Scholarship” to students who actively participate in education and the student trade union movement.

The event was attended by Deputy Minister of Science and Education Firudin Gurbanov, Chairman of the Confederation of Trade Unions of Azerbaijan Sahib Mammadov, Chairman of the ATIAHI Republican Committee Araz Pashayev, Chairman of the Science and Education Committee of the Milli Majlis Anar Isgandarov, heads of higher education institutions, teachers and students.

First, the National Anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan was played, and the memory of the great leader Heydar Aliyev and our heroes who died for the territorial integrity of our country was commemorated with a minute of silence.

The speakers spoke about the youth policy implemented in our country, the development of education and the measures taken towards the social welfare of students. It was noted that the “Named Scholarship” project played a significant role in increasing students’ interest in science, education and social activism.

It should be noted that within the framework of this project, which has been implemented by ATIAHI since 1995, 3179 students have been awarded scholarships to date.

For the 2024–2025 academic year, 308 students were awarded "Named Scholarships".

It is gratifying that among these students, there are 14 students who actively participate in the initiatives of the Student Trade Union Committee (STUC) of Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU) and show excellent results in their classes.
