Advanced science and technology education for talent facing economic barriers
We fund scholarships so that capable students in Latin America can pursue advanced studies in artificial intelligence, microelectronics and chip design, robotics and related technical fields, regardless of their economic situation.

How recipients are selected
Scholars are chosen by an independent Scholarship Selection Committee using objective, neutral criteria:
- Documented financial need
- First-generation university students
- Academic merit and technical potential
- Eligible program of study and residence
Ethnicity, race, national origin, religion and sex are never conditions of eligibility. Donors may support a field of study but never choose individual recipients. Directors, officers, substantial donors and related parties are not eligible.
Applications
Our first open call for scholarship applications is planned for 2027. Dates, eligibility and the application process will be published on this page.
