OUR SCHOLARSHIPS GIRLS

A restless and curious student, she has made the most of her academic years by supplementing her education with competitions, jobs, and volunteer work. Her future options are wide open, but we have no doubt that she will go far in her professional career. For now, she is filling out the questionnaire to join our Association as a YOUNG MEMBER!

My name is Lidia Rosado Tomé and, more than six years ago, when I was finishing my second year of high school, I had the privilege of being selected by AMUM to receive one of its scholarships, which was essential support for starting my double degree in Business Administration and Management and Law at the University of Malaga (UMA), which I am about to finish. From my second year of high school to my sixth year of university!

I always knew that I wanted an education that would allow me to understand the world from two perspectives: the legal structure that governs us and the economic engine that drives us. Choosing this double degree was a demanding challenge, but it has given me analytical skills and strategic vision that are part of who I am today. It’s incredible to be able to recognize and apply what I study in so many aspects of everyday life.

These years at university have been a journey of constant growth. Beyond the classroom, I have sought to complement my academic training with real-life experiences that would put me to the test. Although the complexity of validating credits in a double degree led me to study entirely in Malaga, preventing me from leaving the geographical area, I decided to turn that circumstance into an opportunity to specialize and delve deeper. I have been an active student, participating in debate and current affairs forums such as the Legal Conference for Dialogue, the Series of Conferences for Young People at the Forefront of Technological Research in Marketing, and the Family and Gender Congress. These experiences have allowed me to be in touch with social and legal realities beyond the pages of books.

I was also a finalist in the “Talented Students” competition, where I developed a strategic marketing plan based on Artificial Intelligence for the multinational company Randstad. This challenge tested my creativity and my ability to apply new technologies to the business world.

But if there is one thing I have learned from AMUM, it is that professional success must go hand in hand with human qualities. Inspired by the model of committed women that you are, I am a collaborator with Doctors Without Borders and the Spanish Association Against Cancer, aspiring to follow in your footsteps of solidarity. At the local level, I also collaborate with my former high school by giving guidance talks to students, trying to be the close reference that I would have liked to have had. All this without neglecting the improvement of my English and my passion for reading, key tools for keeping up to date in a global world.

I have always combined this intense academic activity with summer jobs, which has taught me from a very young age the value of effort, discipline, and time management.

I am currently coming to the end of this stage, immersed in finishing my two final degree projects: one in Business Administration, specializing in Influencer Marketing, and the other in Law, which deals with Social Rights. With my sights set on my professional future, I am also working (as an intern) at a law and tax advisory firm in the center of Malaga: Certus Legal Firm, where I have very good feelings and aspirations. My goal is to develop in this field, bringing value and professional ethics to every project I participate in. I am also open to taking competitive exams for positions such as notary public.

Looking back, I want to express my deepest gratitude to AMUM. Your scholarship was not only vital financial support at a time of uncertainty, but also a vote of confidence. Belonging to this network of talented women, who years later remain connected, supporting each other and sharing opportunities, is the real gift. You have taught me that success is not a solitary path, but a collective endeavor. By trusting and supporting each other, we can go very far.

To future scholarship recipients, I would say: don’t set limits for yourselves. Take advantage of every resource, every contact, and every piece of advice this association offers you. With effort and by supporting each other, we are capable of breaking through any glass ceiling.

Thank you for believing in me from day one!
