Between May and June, the ATPICA Scholarships were presented across schools in the local area, with ceremonies at APRO Formazione in Canelli, Istituto Artom and Istituto di Istruzione Superiore Nicola Pellati in Nizza Monferrato. Eurostar, an active member of ATPICA, took part in all three ceremonies.
Recognition that looks beyond grades
The criterion chosen for awarding the scholarships was not academic performance in the strict sense, but the commitment, personal growth and journey each student went through over the year. Results matter, but so do the desire to improve and the attitude with which you put yourself to the test.
Five scholarships, five stories
The five ATPICA Scholarships carry names that tell different stories:
- Entrepreneurial spirit, creative soul — for those who turn an idea into a possibility.
- Beyond the obstacle, the strength to come back — for those who don’t give up and start again stronger.
- More than the classroom: school is something you live — for those who make school a place of initiative.
- Passion in the workshop: talent in action — for those who experiment, try, fail and grow.
- School raises the curtain — for those who bring creativity and courage to the stage.
Among this year’s recipients were girls who have chosen technical paths such as electrical work — a sign that the stereotypes surrounding technical professions are losing ground.
A bridge between school and business
Through ATPICA, Eurostar helps build a tangible connection between local companies and the world of education: a project the company hopes will keep growing, involving more and more students, schools and businesses across the Valle Belbo.
