Angelina Spilnyk, President of ELSA Ukraine, receives ELSA Scholarship 2023-2024 to study at Católica
“I am grateful to the university and ELSA, the association to which I devoted the last three years, for the opportunity given to me". This was the reaction of Angelina Spilnyk, President of ELSA Ukraine, upon receiving the ELSA Scholarship 2023-2024 to study at Católica Global School of Law.
"Receiving the scholarship held significant value for me, as the war in Ukraine brought changes to my family’s financial situation. Since the beginning of the war, I have provided for myself independently and financially supported my relatives. In such a situation, it isn't easy to save for education.” shares the student who now has the opportunity to pursue an LLM programme at Católica.
As to why she chose to apply to Católica Global School of Law, Angelina mentioned that she "first heard about Católica as a partner of ELSA International. But what brought my attention", she added, "was the speech of Professor Tito Rendas during the last International Council Meeting of ELSA in Malta. It gave me a broader understanding of the values the university shares, innovative educational approaches and possibilities after graduation".
The President of ELSA International, Yuri van Steenwijk, also shared his thoughts on the selection process and praised the recipient. "I would like to congratulate Angelina, the current President of ELSA Ukraine, for being selected as the winner of the scholarship among a pool of many convincing applicants. I am sure that she will represent ELSA well during her no-doubt amazing year spent getting a world-class international legal education in Lisbon".
