Each of them received a grant of 300 thousand rubles

The superfinal of the "Mayaki" program, an all-Russian project of Sber and the "Contribution to the Future" charitable foundation for students who are ready to become leaders of a new generation, has ended at Sberbank University. According to the results of the face-to-face stage, the best participants of the program were identified, including three UrFU students:

• Danil Klepov, a first-year student of the "System engineering and digital design" program at the Ural Advanced Engineering School
• Anton Dyadura, a second-year student of the "World Economy and International Business" program at the Graduate School of Economics and Management
• Dmitriy Firstov, a master's student of the "Artificial Intelligence for Power Industry Applications" at the Ural Power Engineering Institute

"Overall, I had a very good impression of the competition, because I saw the work of a large corporation from the inside, and it interested me. It was very pleasant and quite unexpected to get to the top. The most difficult thing was to stay focused all the days, as the assessment was ongoing," Danil shared his impressions.

For their achievements, the students received a grant of 300 thousand rubles each.

In total, 300 participants from 70 universities of the country entered the final stage.
