The Study Assistance Program provides educational opportunities and scholarships to young people from families facing socio-economic challenges, enabling them to continue their studies. For over 16 years, KEPAKY has offered financial support exceeding €300,000 to students based on academic and social criteria.
KEPAKY’s “Study Assistance” Programs aim to provide young people from vulnerable families with the opportunity to pursue and complete their studies. Implemented for approximately 17 years, the program has allocated more than €360,000 in scholarships, including €30,000 in 2025 alone.
Scholarships are awarded thoughtfully, based on academic performance as well as the family’s composition, income, number of dependents, and other socio-economic factors. The goal is to give students the opportunity to achieve their dreams and succeed through access to education.

“A Hand to Youth” promotes the value of volunteering among young people by offering vouchers for food, clothing, and footwear to children and youth facing difficult conditions during Christmas and Easter. Since 2012, more than 3,500 families have been supported with €500,000 in aid.
