Foundation · Colombia
Studying is advancing
We fund the professional, technical and technological education of low-income youth in Colombia, so they can transform their lives, their families and their futures.
We believe no young person should give up their dreams for lack of resources. We walk with them until they graduate.
Our purpose
One opportunity can change a life
We don't provide education directly. We fund access to education.
Estudiar es Avanzar was founded with a clear purpose: to help low-income youth study a professional, technical or technological degree in Colombia. We cover the agreed tuition costs or other necessary educational expenses, according to the foundation's capacity and a review of each case.
Our commitment is to accompany each student until graduation, with one essential condition: that they finish their degree and, when their professional life allows it, help another young person with a gift equal to or greater than the support they received.
About us
We connect the will to help with the will to get ahead
We are a Colombian foundation created to support young people with talent, commitment and a drive to improve, who face economic barriers to accessing higher education.
We believe in education as a tool for social transformation. That's why we connect the willingness of individuals, business leaders and partners with young people who need a concrete opportunity to study.
How it works
The solidarity chain
We identify young people in economic need, assess their case and raise resources to cover their studies. And every beneficiary, upon graduating, helps the next one. That's how the chain advances.

Who we support
Young people with talent and the drive to get ahead
We support low-income Colombian youth who want to study a professional, technical or technological degree and who show commitment to their education.
We look for young people who understand that this opportunity is not just financial help, but a responsibility to their future, their family and other young people who will also need an opportunity.

One opportunity becomes a chain of education, gratitude and transformation.
Someone receives an opportunity, moves forward — and then helps another young person move forward.
