IBERDROLA by means of its various International fundations has launched a new call for applications for scholarships and research grants for the 2017-2018 academic year, with the goal of promoting excellence in training the upcoming generations.

This edition of the IBERDROLA International Scholarship Programme organised by the company’s various international foundations includes grants to conduct research in Spain and scholarships to complete Master’s degrees in energy and environment in Spain and the UK.

The company plans to award almost 150 scholarships this year to students with Spanish, British, U.S., Mexican and Brazilian nationalities. The scheme will be allocated a total of €3.7 million.

Ever since this scheme was set up in 2010, the number of scholarships has increased by over 300%, thus multiplying the number of grants awarded by four.

The enrolment process for this new call will remain open until 7 April next. Those wishing to be considered can read about all the conditions and fill out the application form on the Fundación Iberdrola España website or those of the group’s other foundations in the countries where Iberdrola has operations.
