📋 Tender Overview
The Peruvian Sports Institute (IPD) participated in the ceremony to publicize Law No. 31978, which grants postgraduate scholarships to qualified and qualified high-level athletes and para-athletes, in order to complement their academic and professional training.
The meeting took place in the Raúl Porras Barrenechea hemicycle of Congress, organized by the office of Congressman Germán Tacuri, author of the Law, and in coordination with the IPD.
To access the scholarship, the athlete or para-athlete must have a certificate requested by the study center, which must be presented to DINADAF, which in turn will send the document to the corresponding federation.
Then, the federation will send to the IPD the request for proof that the athlete or para-athlete is qualified or qualified at a high level, and will issue through DINADAF the certificate required to be delivered to the federation and may be awarded the scholarship.
"I am very happy because this law helps all athletes and para-athletes who want to continue with a professional career to improve our future," said Ysabelino Apaza, a member of the wheelchair tennis team.
With the entry into force of this Law, a legal framework is established to grant the benefit to athletes and para-athletes, in order for them to develop in their professional life acquiring new knowledge that would be applied in the field of sports.
In this way, a level of professionalization will be achieved in the sports system, which will contribute to the academic and professional strengthening in their careers, thus contributing to the growth and improvements of the National Sports System (SISDEN).
The event was also attended by the president of the National Director of Training and Sports Technique of the IPD, Carlos Garrido; the National Director of Sports of Affiliates of the IPD, Rómulo Madueño; the president of the Peruvian Olympic Committee (COP), Renzo Manyari; the executive director of Legado, Carlos Zegarra; as well as Congresswomen Lucinda Vásquez and Elizabeth Medina, and Peruvian Air Force (FAP) Colonel Carlos Cabrera; and the taekwondo athlete and qualified athlete, Shian Navarro, promoter of the standard.
