[Geo4All] Please be champion for EDI scholarships initiative in your university

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,


Happy International Day of Education to everyone. Details at https://www.unesco.org/en/days/education


Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility.


May I request you to be champion in your university for EDI scholarships initiative. May I request you to kindly share and support the Open Letter that I published  requesting EDI scholarships at all UK universities.

I would like to thank the International Science Council for the strong support provided for me in my work for GeoForAll and building Open Geospatial Science.

I am very grateful for the amazing support from colleagues around the world that I received for the EDI scholarships initiative. I am confident that more students from economically poor families and first-generation students will get higher education opportunities in the near future.


I request universities all over the world to provide scholarships for first-generation students and for students from economically poor families.


I am very grateful to all of you for your work and contributions for making education opportunities available for everyone.


I look forward to working with all  universities worldwide to increase education opportunities for all students.



Best wishes


Suchith
