Chair UB José Luis Massó Private Foundation, to help graduates from the Faculty of Chemistry to continue their studies

The rector of the UB, Joan Guàrdia, congratulated the Faculty of Chemistry for this initiative. Institucional Today, 22 July, the University of Barcelona hosted the presentation of the Chair UB José Luis Massó Private Foundation in the Aula Magna of the Historic Building. The aim of the Chair is to help graduates of the Faculty of Chemistry with limited financial resources or with some kind of disability to study for a master's degree and to continue preparing themselves for entering the labour market. A total of 36,000 euros per year, initially for three years, will be awarded to students up to 30 years of age. The amount of the grant will be equivalent to the cost of the enrolment fee for the master's degree the applicants wish to take. This first year, ten grants have been announced for the 2022-2023 academic year. The José Luis Massó Private Foundation will also collaborate with the orientation and employability activities organised by the Faculty of Chemistry by facilitating internships in companies and training workshops for the students.
