Call for Scholarships “GOSPEL AND CULTURE”
THE REGINA APOSTOLORUM PONTIFICAL ATHENAEUM REWARDS MERIT AND ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
The Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum seeks to promote excellence in the academic field to give value to the mission of evangelization in the twenty-first century.
For this reason, we formed for years talented people capable of exercising leadership in the society and in the Church and as well as as of creating currents of thought that respond to the existential questions of our time,
Evangelizing culture is not only our mission but the mission of the Church because “a faith that does not become culture is a faith not fully accepted, not entirely thought out, not faithfully lived” (Saint John Paul II).
With this in mind, to celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum inaugurates the first edition of the call for the “GOSPEL AND CULTURE” SCHOLARSHIP.
Thanks to the resources made available by our benefactors, the call offers scholarships to the most talented students of the First Cycle Degree courses to participate in the Second Cycle Grade courses.
The scholarships will be awarded through a competition aimed at selecting the most talented candidates on the basis of their academic curriculum and will be awarded to the first 7 classified in the following ways:
