An initiative committee from the city of Lom and the Academic Council of the Medical University – Sofia have initiated to bestow a posthumous state award to the Sponsor Dr. Andrey Georgiev – an immigrant to the United States, who has bequeathed over $ 5 million for the education of Bulgarian students at universities in Bulgaria, Europe and America.<\/p>\n
Sponsorship for education of this magnitude has not been known in Bulgarian history since the time of Evlogi and Hristo Georgievs brothers, and Dimitar Tsenov, who invested millions of gold levs for the establishment of the University of Sofia and the Academy of Economics in the town of Svishtov.<\/p>\n
Dr. Andrei Georgiev\u2019s sponsorship is a continuation of the Renaissance traditions for support and uplift of the Bulgarian education and science. In 2018, Dr. Georgiev was nominated Honorary Citizen of Lom and was honored by the National Association of Municipalities as \u201cMunicipal Sponsor \u21161 of Bulgaria\u201d.<\/p>\n
“We are convinced that Dr. Georgiev’s contribution outlines him as a patron and national patriot. The funds that he bequeathed to the cause, without any binding clauses, not only provide opportunities to stimulate medical students, but they are a real help for the training of hundreds of Bulgarian young people, “said the communique sent to the Minister of Education and Science.<\/p>\n
The initiators asked Minister Krasimir Valchev in pursuance of Art. 11, para. 2 of the Law on Orders and Medals of the Republic of Bulgaria to submit to the Council of Ministers a proposal to the Presidency of the Republic of Bulgaria for awarding Dr. Andrey Georgiev, posthumously with the Order of Cyril and Methodius, for a significant contribution to the development of education and science in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n
