Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou’s Philanthropic Foundation has awarded €30,000 in scholarships to three University of Cyprus MBA students for the second consecutive year, fully covering their tuition fees.
The scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year were presented to Elina Filaktou, Dr. Neoclis Hadjigeorgiou, and Dr. Spyroula Mavrommati at a ceremony held Tuesday at the University of Cyprus.
“Our aim is to support and encourage students who excel academically, helping them complete their studies and equipping them with the tools for successful careers. Education is a fundamental key to realizing our dreams,” said Haji-Ioannou, founder of easyJet and the easy family of brands, in a message delivered at the ceremony.
Foundation board member Rena Rouvitha Panou, who presented the awards, emphasized the foundation’s commitment to supporting scholarships at internationally recognized universities, noting the special significance of including the University of Cyprus among its priority institutions to honor Sir Stelios’s homeland.
University President Tasos Anastasiou praised the foundation’s support as setting an example for future benefactors, while Rector Professor Tasos Christofides highlighted the university’s role in promoting Cyprus’s development through excellence in education.
