It should be noted that Araz Supermarket Chain provides a one-time award or a monthly scholarship to the children of its employees who study at undergraduate level at higher education institutions in Azerbaijan and abroad, depending on their university entrance examination results.
Currently, the company provides monthly scholarships to 100 students. The “Student Scholarship” programme is available to employees working across all structural divisions of Araz Supermarket Chain.
The “Student Scholarship” programme was established in 2010. To date, nearly 1,000 students have received support through the programme. Of these, 350 students have received regular monthly scholarships throughout their studies, while 650 have been awarded one-time grants under the programme.
Company employees are also eligible for relevant support under the programme when they gain admission to higher education institutions or continue their studies.
Although the “Student Scholarship” programme has specific eligibility criteria, special provisions apply to members of martyr families and children of war veterans. If they gain admission to a higher education institution, they are provided with monthly scholarships throughout their studies without being subject to any additional eligibility criteria.
The programme aims to support employees’ social well-being, contribute to the education of high-achieving young people, and encourage the development of a skilled workforce for the future.
