The City Council of Celorico awarded School Merit Prizes to 40 students from the municipality. The program recognizes the best students who completed their studies at the two highest levels of the Portuguese educational system.
The prizes consist of 250 euro vouchers for each of the distinguished students. The 20 best students who completed the third cycle of studies, corresponding to the 9th year, and the 20 best students who completed secondary education, corresponding to the 12th year, were included.
The overall support from the local authority for this initiative amounts to 10,000 euros. The selection and ranking of the students included is communicated and determined according to criteria established for this purpose.
