A meeting was held between the winners of the “Red Hearts”
educational scholarship program, implemented by the Red Hearts
Foundation, and the donors who support them on their educational
journey. In a friendly breakfast setting, the donors shared their
life and professional experiences with the students and offered
valuable advice. The scholarship recipients, in turn, spoke about
their career plans, academic achievements, and educational
activities, and posed questions to the donors.
The event was attended by Farid Hidayatzade, Deputy Chairman of
the Management Board, Chief Corporate Sales Officer at Kapital
Bank, Kamal Abdullayev, Board member, Chief Compliance Officer, as
well as clients of Birbank Private.
Yusif Poladov, President of the Red Hearts Foundation, provided
participants with detailed information about the “Red Hearts”
educational scholarship program and the “Onu Oxut” (Donate for
Education) campaign, noting that, for the first time this year,
students will receive mentoring support from donors throughout the
duration of their scholarship.
Since 2024, the “Red Hearts” educational scholarship program has
been implemented in partnership between the Red Hearts Foundation
and the Education Development Fund. For the 2025–2026 academic
year, 995 applications were submitted, 73 candidates were invited
to the interview stage, and 20 students were selected as winners.

clients, 10 students receive full scholarships.
