Academia Vitae zet een fonds voor beurzen op. Eerste drie beurzen

Ria Bos, psycholoog en de buurvrouw van Academia Vitae heeft veel moeite moeten doen en veel weerstand moeten overwinnen om aan de universiteit te kunnen studeren. Ze heeft een beurs van 10.000 euro toegezegd voor een vrouwelijke student die zonder deze beurs niet aan Academia Vitae zou kunnen studeren. Zij die graag in aanmerking willen komen, kunnen zich aanmelden bij Marjolein@academiavitae.nl

Een organisatie uit Deventer heeft twee beurzen toegezegd onder de conditie dat andere organisaties ook beurzen verschaffen.
