The abertis foundation has given 21 scholarships, a total of €10,000, to university students from Castellet i la Gornal. This town in the Alt Penedès region of Barcelona is home to Castellet Castle, the abertis foundation headquarters, which has recently been named a UNESCO centre for the Mediterranean Ecosystem Biosphere Reserves. 

These scholarships strengthen the involvement of the abertis foundation with the community where the abertis group operates.
