Every year, the Fabian and Jaakko Ahvenainen Foundation awards grants and recognition awards to students of bridge engineering and structural engineering and building physics as well as to recent master鈥檚 or doctoral graduates from the same fields of study. This year, a total of 11 000 鈧 was awarded in grants to the following: 

  • Zemenu Abebe (structural engineering and building physics), 2000 鈧
  • Miika Koljonen(bridge engineering), 2000 鈧
  • Toni Makkonen(bridge engineering/structural engineering and building physics), 2000 鈧
  • Hermanni Morander(bridge engineering), 2000 鈧
  • 罢谤补苍&苍产蝉辫;脨矛苍丑(structural engineering and building physics), 2000 鈧
  • Jami Qvisen(bridge engineering), 1000 鈧

Grounds for the grant awarded to Tran脨矛nh was a master鈥檚 degree completed with exceptional merit. Abebe and Makkonen were awarded grants for their master鈥檚 theses, which received the highest grade, and their study performance. Koljonen and Morander were awarded grants for meritorious theses and study performance.
