UNIC Receives Grant Award from the A.A. van Beek Fund!

UNIC is honoured to receive €110,000 in a grant award from the A.A. van Beek Fund! 

We will be enabling up to 400 students (over a three year period) to go on exchange across our alliance in Europe, expanding horizons and forging new connections. These are students for whom “study abroad” may not have been possible without scholarship support, be it financial obstacles or care responsibilities at home. UNIC will offer and facilitate funded short-term exchanges, enabling first-generation and underrepresented students to gain valuable international experience, learning about the challenges of other cities and creating new knowledge: as professionals, researchers and citizens of Europe.
