«Young people have to study and think about getting more knowledge, not worrying about money. That is why we are ready to support the best students, and we hope that such scholarships will become a good stimulus for others. And surely, we welcome the best developers and programmers to our team!», — underlined Mr. Tinkov.
During a campaign set on searching for Russia's best IT-specialists, Tinkoff Bank conducts meetings with students from different Russian universities. In April, Mr. Tinkov met with students from ITMO, and talked about himself, his business and businesses' social responsibilities. After the meeting, the entrepreneur announced that the Tinkoff Bank is ready to pay a scholarship to a student who's achieved much in the IT sphere both in Russia and internationally. Gennady Korotkevich, a Master's Degree student from ITMO university and two-times champion of ACM ICPC, as well as winner of other different international contests, became the one.
«As of now, not only universities, but also leading IT-companies compete to get the most talented students for themselves, — noted Anatoly Shalyto, head of ITMO's Programming Technology Department. — Our department and the university as a whole is set on keeping the best students at the university so that they'll later pass on their knowledge to the next generation of talents. Our famous graduates also help us, as well as such companies as JetBtains, Yandex, Mail.Ru, Devino Telecom, „Transas“. Thanks to that, three of world's champions in programming — Pavel Mavrin, Maxim Buzdalov and Artem Vasilyev, as well as prize-winners of world championships Georgiy Korneev and Andrei Stankevich work at the Computer Technology Department. All this help lets students and lecturers from the department attain world-level results. We are really glad that the amount of our partners increased».
