A new way to college
The Pinnae Foundation has launched an innovative initiative aimed at facilitating access to higher education for young people from the vegueria that are in unfavorable economic situations. Through scholarships of excellence and social quality (BEQS), a total of 15 students can access the university with significant financial support.
Scholarship details
This call provides for a maximum amount of € 10,000 per student, as well as annual aids of up to € 2,500 for four years, accumulating a total of € 150,000. Unlike other programs, Pinnae’s proposal stands out for its focus on social inclusion, valuing aspects beyond academic qualifications.
Selection criteria
Candidates must meet academic requirements, such as a minimum average grade of 6.5 in high school or higher education cycle, but their economic circumstances will also be examined, with individual income below € 8,000 per year, or a maximum of € 12,000 for normal families and € 15,000 in single -parent cases.
Added values to selection
In addition to the economic conditions, the Foundation will evaluate aspects such as disability, orphanage, or gender -based violence. Contributions to society, such as volunteering, will also be analyzed to ensure that the beneficiaries have not only academic potential, but also a social commitment.
Declarations of the president
Martí Soler, President of the Pinnae Foundation, emphasized that education is a powerful tool for social change. He expressed the need to eradicate economic barriers that prevent access to the university, in order to ensure that all young people have the same opportunities.
