De Rigo Vision and De Rigo Refrigeration award Study Grants to upper Secondary School and University Students Ennio De Rigo, President of the DeRigo Group, and the shareholders Giorgio and Roberto De Rigo, are pleased to announce the issue of a new special competition addressed to the families of the Group employees for the awarding of honorary study grants in memory of Senator Walter De Rigo.   The initiative falls within the scope of the social responsibility projects that the Group develops in support of employees' families at such a difficult time as the current financial crisis that is affecting our Country. The study grants, 10 for upper Secondary School students and 5 for University students will be awarded on an annual basis to the children of the group company employees located in the province of Belluno, with the aim of paying tribute to the memory of the late Senator Walter De Rigo who, with his entrepreneurial vision and charisma, contributed to enhance the province of Belluno.   "The study grants are aimed at promoting the higher education of the most promising students by helping their families overcome the financial and social obstacles to the realisation of the Right to Study thereby recognising it as one of the pillars upon which the growth of our future generations must be based" , remarks the President Ennio De Rigo.   "The competition of the previous year has seen the emergence of highly talented people with strong intellectual qualities and a firm commitment to their cultural and professional growth. I am proud that such talented young people can find help from us in order to continue with their studies". "We have received many expressions of appreciation from the families of the youngsters who have participated in the 2011 competition, and this is what motivates us to repeat the initiative in the hope that the number of entries will be even higher", commented Giorgio and Roberto De Rigo.   Application entries for the Study Grants from De Rigo Vision and De Rigo Refrigeration employees must be submitted no later than 7 December 2012.
