Fagan also shared his impression with us: “The competition consisted of 3 stages, the last stage was an online interview. I managed to pass through these stages and succeed. I want to thank the project managers. I can say that I started well in 2021. In the selection stage, preference was given to young people with social activism and special achievements. When I was in high school, I was able to stand out in many project Olympiads and intellectual competitions. As you know, 2020 was declared the "Year of Volunteers". I participated in various volunteer programs in 2019-2020. In fact, I was admitted to the university on a free basis, and I have graduated from high school with a gold medal.”

To recall, Youth Foundation financed the educational expenditure of 662 students in the years of 2018 and 2019.
