Two students of UrFU Graduate School of Economics and Management Vladislav Tikhonov and Daria Shalina have successfully passed the competitive selection and will receive personal scholarships within the Egor Gaidar Scholarship Program — 1500 rubles per month throughout the whole academic year.

"Winning such a contest is a big surprise! Now it is getting more difficult to get scholarships, as the number of students involved in science is growing, the competition and the requirements of scientific journals are increasing. Therefore, I am happy that I am one of the 10 awardees of the scholarship and that my work done over the years of study has been appreciated," said Vladislav.

Daria is a 2nd—year student of the Master's degree program "Territorial Development Management and Real Estate Development", and she has a rich scientific experience: 47 scientific articles (5 – indexed in Scopus, 16 — indexed in Higher Attestation Commission, 15 — in Russian Science Citation Index, etc.), participation in many conferences and victories in different competitions. The topics of the published works cover actual issues: digital transformation of various sectors of the economy; modern management and gamification; investment and modern entrepreneurship; construction, development and sustainable territorial development.

The Egor Gaidar Scholarship Program has been launched for full-time students in Economics with high academic achievements. Students with good marks (4, 5) participating in scientific research in the field of Economics can apply for the scholarship.

Every year, 10 students of leading Russian universities are awarded the Gaidar scholarship.
