Smart and hardworking, talented and active. Today in Volgograd, personal scholarship holders of the City Duma were honored for the 26th time. Certificates were awarded to our young fellow countrymen who have achieved great success in their studies, creativity and sports. The annual ceremony took place at the Volgograd Musical Theater.
I’m like dad, I’m like mom, I’ve been into jazz since childhood, – poet Milana Soldatova.
Personal scholarship recipient of the Volgograd City Duma Milana Soldatova is a student of children’s art school No. 11. She is one of 65 schoolchildren who this year took prizes at all-Russian and international Olympiads, competitions and competitions. And they receive deserved recognition for this.
Dear friends, scholarship holders, mentors, teachers, teachers, coaches. I would like to wish you to always have the energy of enthusiasm, the energy of aspiration and creation. So that our guys are the best in the country, and we are proud of them, just as we are of our beloved hero city Volgograd,” he addressed the event participants Chairman of the Volgograd City Duma Vladlen Kolesnikov.
Scholarships have been awarded to gifted children in Volgograd for a quarter of a century. They are awarded annually, both personal – for individual achievements, and collective – to members of creative ensembles and sports teams. Over the years, almost 10 thousand people have received scholarships from the Volgograd City Duma. The students will receive financial incentives in the amount of 1,500 rubles monthly during the academic year.
I would like, first of all, to thank all of you, your entire wonderful close-knit team, regardless of which direction you win. You are winners for us, be it education, culture, victory at the Olympiads,” noted First Deputy Chairman of the Volgograd City Duma Dmitry Dilman.
For many children, this is the first ceremony in their lives. But this is far from the first performance on the big stage.
Oh, girlfriends, you make friends, my dears, if you like ditties, sing along like your own,– a poet Varvara Yandieva.
The whole audience sings along and applauds Varvara Yandieva. The girl takes part in large-scale city and regional events. Varvara is a laureate of international and all-Russian competitions. This year, for her active participation in the cultural life of Volgograd, she became a scholarship recipient of the City Duma.
I’m receiving a scholarship for the first time, it’s very exciting and very nice. I am a soloist of the exemplary folk ensemble “Yagodka”. We participate in many competitions,” she said student of Children’s Music School No. 8 in Volgograd Varvara Yandieva.
The main task of all adults – coaches, teachers, parents, government officials: to do everything necessary to support children and give them support for the future, an incentive to further develop and achieve the most daring heights.
I see how the guys had a sparkle in their eyes, how it motivates them. I am sure that they will not stop there, that they will increase their awards and their achievements. And I am sure that they will definitely, as now, be proud of the fact that they are scholarship holders of the hero city of Volgograd, just as the residents of the city are proud of our children,” noted Deputy Chairman of the Volgograd City Duma Gennady Kuznetsov.
For the third time, Kira Vyshinskaya, bronze medalist of this year’s Russian Championship in chess composition, member of the Volgograd region youth team, became a scholarship recipient of the Volgograd City Duma.
In the future I really want to become a master, I’m trying, I think I’m not far from this. There will be a tournament soon, a world championship. “I plan to take a prize place,” shared student of sports school No. 20 in Volgograd, candidate for master of sports of Russia Kira Vyshinskaya.
In 1999, the Volgograd City Council of People’s Deputies for the first time established personal scholarships for the most gifted schoolchildren of Volgograd for special achievements in various fields. Also in 1999, a personal scholarship was awarded for the first time; it was received by the only nominee. Since then, the number of scholarship recipients has only increased. Because every year more and more young Volgograd residents conquer new heights in learning, creativity and sports.
