We awarded 25 Nutresa | Eafit Scholarships for Higher Education

We awarded the second edition of the Nutresa Eafit Scholarships, for access, excellence and leadership, with which we seek to contribute to education quality and to recognize the young people committed to their life projects as well as to their communities.

After receiving applications from more than 2,000 young people from different regions of Colombia and carrying out the selection process together with Eafit University, 25 young adults and their families were recognized yesterday as beneficiaries of the scholarships for the cohort that begins in the first semester of 2025. 20 of these young adults received the access scholarship that will cover 100% of enrollment and tuition fees for undergraduate degrees in Business Administration, Marketing, Urban Design, Mathematical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Process Engineering, Social Communication, Mechanical Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, International Business and Psychology. Additionally, 5 active students from Eafit University were recognized with a semester scholarship for excellence and leadership that includes 100% coverage of tuition fees for the next semester (2025-1). These young adults join the 44 scholarship students who are already pursuing their degrees.

It fills us with joy and inspiration to support the dreams of these young people and reaffirm our commitment to education. “Our goal is to facilitate access to higher education and accompany young people in their personal and academic growth, convinced that knowledge is one of the most powerful tools to transform realities,” added Carlos Ignacio Gallego Palacio, President of Grupo Nutresa.

This program is part of the new investments on social issues of COP 150,000 million for the next five years and from which we seek to develop skills in our society to improve the quality of life of the most vulnerable communities of Colombia.
