Karate Championships in December 2012. Another is Jenni Saarinen, who won the
Junior Ladies' Nordic Championships in figure skating in February 2013. All

school class in Finland. The scholarship is a reward to pupils who have promoted
peace and tolerance at school and motivation in schoolwork and a positive
atmosphere in their schools with their exemplary behaviour.

classes distribute the scholarships.
