University Scholarship Program to
Study in Spain
The Program
At International Studies Foundation, our goal is to foster enduring educational sustainability through a range of initiatives, thereby constructing pathways of opportunity for disadvantaged students.
We firmly uphold the belief that education stands as one of the fundamental pillars for the advancement of a cultured society, representing the most effective means to enact positive change in the lives of young individuals who lack essential resources and tools.
By granting access to diverse educational avenues, we have the power to profoundly influence the trajectories of young lives, ultimately empowering them to catalyze transformative change in the lives of countless others.
Mission
The Scholarship Program bridges our educational initiatives with partners, aiming to integrate education, culture, values, internationalization, social awareness, and responsibility.
It offers youth an international experience, broadening their global perspective through interdisciplinary activities, leadership programs, and travel opportunities.
Objectives
To offer students the opportunity to participate in an exchange program at the American university, CIS University in Madrid, through academic scholarships.
Student Selection
ISF selects students from our local partner programs who have been previously selected to participate in the “Camino de Santiago” program.
Selection is based on academic and personal merit along with an outstanding commitment and sense of social responsibility.
Each year, a group of students of different nationalities will have access to apply for a full scholarship at CIS University.
Collaborators & Sponsors
We rely on the indispensable support of our collaborators and sponsors, whose contributions bring this project to fruition.
