"I received my first Governor's Scholarship in my second year, after writing several scientific papers. At that time, it was a big breakthrough for me. Since then, I have been writing scientific publications on current topics every year, and participating in scientific competitions and international conferences. At the same time, I apply all my knowledge and research in my work. I am very interested in studying my field at a deep level because I know that it will make me more successful as a specialist," says Daria Shalina.

On December 6, Alexey Shmykov, the First Deputy Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region, on behalf of the Head of the Region Yevgeny Kuyvashev, handed over the awards to the scholarship holders.

"We honor the best representatives of the Urals student youth. For more than 20 years the achievements of students and graduates have been rewarded with the Governor's Scholarship. During this time, more than 11 thousand people have received such support. We will continue this wonderful tradition because investing in our talented, thinking, and active young people is an investment in the future of the Sverdlovsk Region. This is not the first time that many young people have received the Governor's Scholarship, which confirms that they are focused on the highest results," Alexey Shmykov pointed out.
