About the Foundation
The University of Tartu Foundation was founded on 7 July 1997 by the University of Tartu.
The main objective of the University of Tartu Foundation is to support the research and educational activity and the studies of people related to the university by creating scholarships and awards and mediating contributions.
The activity of the foundation is first and foremost determined by the interests of the university and the contributors.
