I can proudly state, that I am six-time scholar of the UL Foundation and because of that I especially appreciate the meaning of this support in my life. Depending on the academic stage, the scholarships were of different significance – at the beginning it was vital and allowed completely to concentrate on the study process and not losing valuable time at work, which would subtract a lot from lecture attendance or would force spending hours at the counter. Later scholarships provided possibility to participate in conferences and take courses abroad, thus gaining useful knowledge that could be used further in Latvia.
