The goal of the Vītols Fund is to provide scholarships for capable, dedicated young people from low-income families for studies in the universities of Latvia. The situation in the Latvian rural schools helped the founders of the foundation define the goal to which the foundation targets its activities – to grant scholarships to those secondary school graduates from rural areas, whose family material circumstances prevent them from continuing the studies in a university. Fund scholarships are granted to those who have good grades in their reports (average marks of 7 or higher), have succeeded in academic contests and who come from low-income families.
