We have an increasing number of candidates requesting accommodation and food services at the El Rocío campus. Young women from remote areas such as Vichada and Nariño arrived this semester.
Our scholarship plans for students from rural areas exposed to armed conflict expand the opportunities for access to education for these young women who, in addition, seek to escape forced recruitment. When they obtain the scholarship, these students do not have the means to support themselves.
Our good news that we want to share with our benefactors is the opening of a new agreement with Grupo Bancolombia, the largest bank in Colombia. Being part of this agreement provides the future scholarship recipients with 70% support for their maintenance. You can learn more here https://rumboeducacion.com/
In addition to this scholarship program, we have our own solidarity support plan for scholarships through our website https://icsef.edu.co/apoyo-solidario-a-la-mujer-icsef/ that ranges from USD23 to the full semester fee USD1173.
The efforts are enormous to have this type of agreements that provide for the maintenance of students from rural areas…
We are very grateful for your support. Continue supporting us in this cause of gender equality!!!
