CTP announces partnership with UNHCR, will fund 70 scholarships to refugee youth

CTP, a top five European industrial property developer, is proud to become the first supporting partner of The UN Refugee Council’s (UNHCR) Aiming Higher campaign. The campaign was launched on UNHCR’s 70th anniversary in December 2020 and aims to increase higher education among refugee youth with the support of private sector partners. CTP stepped up to the call and will provide four-year higher education scholarships to 70 refugee youth.

To support the Aiming Higher campaign and UNHCR’s ongoing effort to increase higher education enrolment among refugees from 3% to 15% by 2030, CTP will cover all academic expenses and an allowance to cover housing, food, local travel, and medical expenses to 70 students for next four years with their donation of 735,000 euros.
