Awarding the first 39 Nutresa higher education scholarships is cause for celebration

The Organization has granted the first 39 Nutresa Scholarships out of a planned total of 200.

The purpose of granting these scholarships is to enable talented Colombian youth to have access to higher education. After receiving applications from 1,400 young people from multiple Colombian municipalities and conducting a thorough selection process in collaboration with Universidad EAFIT, the first 39 beneficiaries have been made official.

These young people will have 100% of the registration and tuition for their entire programs covered, as well as the possibility to submit applications for mentorship processes and internship scenarios in our Company. The following are some of the undergraduate programs that these young people will undertake as they start their college trajectory: law, physics engineering, agricultural engineering, urban design ang habitat management, interactive design, international business, geology, product design engineering, political science, among other at Universidad EAFIT.

“Grupo Nutresa’s purpose is to build a better world where development benefits everyone.

That is why we are here supporting such purpose with actions like this one. For me, this is a day for hope, because hope is part of truly believing that the future can be better,” stated Carlos Ignacio Gallego Palacio, Grupo Nutresa’s Chief Executive Officer.

The Nutresa Scholarship Program, deployed in partnership with Universidad EAFIT, includes 200 scholarships, 195 of which are intended for young high school graduates from communities of socio-economic levels 1, 2 and 3. The other five scholarships will be granted twice a year to active EAFIT students who stand out for their academic excellence and leadership.

For Grupo Nutresa, it is a major reason for pride to be able to support the youth of our country, thus confirming our commitment to the education and development of future generations.
