For the second consecutive year, the Runnymede College Foundation, in collaboration with the Alcobendas City Council, is calling for up to five scholarships aimed at first-year high school students from public institutes in our city who wish to pursue their university studies in the United Kingdom.
These grants are a clear example of the importance of public-private collaboration. In September 2025, the beneficiary of the first edition of the scholarships will join a British university.
