GREAT SUCCESS FOR A BULGARIAN STUDENT IN THE UK SUPPORTED BY THE "HRISTOFOR BUNARDJIEV" FOUNDATION


Alumna of RGU University in Aberdeen, Scotland, Melina Dimitrova, whose higher education has been supported since the beginning by the Hristofor Bunardzhiev Foundation, won first place in a prestigious competition for computer skills of Amazon Web Services.

The AWS Educate Challenge, organized by the Amazon Web Services (AWS) programme, is a competition where students from across the UK develop their cloud computing skills and compete for the chance to win prizes provided by Amazon. Students work with many of Amazon Web Services' services and features and receive digital qualifications upon successful completion of various AWS Educate Cloud Career Pathways that target in-demand skills such as Web Development, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cyber Security, Software Development, and more. Of all participating students from 111 universities in Great Britain, Melina from Stara Zagora ranked 1st.

Winning the prestigious competition is a huge success not only for Melina, but also for her university, as with this award it ranks in the top 10 of the best universities in the UK.

Melina is a fourth year Computer Science student at the University of Aberdeen. She received her secondary education at the "Romain Rolland" foreign language high school in Stara Zagora. Due to her family's limited financial possibilities, the Hristofor Bunardzhiev Foundation supported her departure to Scotland in 2017 and provided her with a modern laptop necessary for her studies.


About the experience, Melina shared with us: "Overall, I feel extremely satisfied with my achievement and the many new knowledge I learned during the competition, but also that I left a visible mark in the history of my university. I sincerely thank you for your support, Mr. Bunardzhiev, it means a lot to me!

The "Hristofor Bunardzhiev" Foundation congratulates and wishes Melina success in the path she has taken. May she always pursue her dreams with drive, persistence and enthusiasm!
