Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou awards scholarships to University of Cyprus MBA students

On Thursday, November 5, 2026, the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation awarded scholarships totaling €30,000 to three MBA students at the University of Cyprus. This initiative, which marks the fourth consecutive year of funding, covers the full tuition costs for the selected recipients for the 2026-2027 academic year.

The scholarship recipients, George Solomonides, Kartik Rautela, and Loizos Georgiades, were chosen following a rigorous assessment process based on both academic performance and socioeconomic criteria. The awards were presented at a formal ceremony at the University of Cyprus by Rena Rouvitha Panou, a board member of the foundation, representing Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou.

This ongoing program is part of a broader philanthropic effort by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the creator of the easy family of brands, aimed at promoting educational access and providing equal opportunities for young people. Education remains a primary pillar of the foundation's charitable work, with these scholarships intended to support academic excellence for the next generation of business leaders.
