  • Toni Makkonen(bridge engineering/structural engineering and building physics), 2000 €
  • Hermanni Morander(bridge engineering), 2000 €
  • Tran Ðình(structural engineering and building physics), 2000 €
  • Jami Qvisen(bridge engineering), 1000 €

Grounds for the grant awarded to TranÐình was a master’s degree completed with exceptional merit. Abebe and Makkonen were awarded grants for their master’s theses, which received the highest grade, and their study performance.
