Earlier this year, Javad Mushtaq (21) was voted economics student of the year in recognition of his strong academic achievement and social involvement at BI. He has now completed his Bachelor in Economics at BI Norwegian Business School, as has Manveer S. Sidhu (21). Both students are planning to continue their studies in Copenhagen this autumn.
HRH Crown Prince Haakon attended the annual Alarga awards at the Oslo Concert Hall on 9 June. The scholarship is awarded to selected top students with a multicultural background, with the objective of increasing Norwegian enterprises’ competiveness through inter-cultural recruitment.
These were the third consecutive Alargaa scholarship awards. So far, 23 students have been awarded the scholarship; all of them top students with a multi-cultural family background.
The Alarga scholarship was established in 2007, and is awarded top students with family backgrounds from Eastern Europe, Asia (incl. Turkey) and Africa as well as Latin America. The scholarship is awarded in recognition of the students’ academic performance, social involvement and multi-language proficiency.
The Alarga 2010 scholarship ceremony was held in Oslo Concert Hall, 9 June, at 1 pm. BI Norwegian Business School congratulates Javad Mushtaq and Maveer Sidhu on their scholarships and wishes them both all the best in their further studies.
