What is COLFUTURO?
COLFUTURO (Foundation for the Future of Colombia) is a non-profit organisation that aims to provide financial support and to increase access to postgraduate study abroad programmes for Colombian citizens. Since its founding in 1991, it has awarded over $720 million in funding to 20,000 Colombian students. Visit the COLFUTRO website for further information.
What funding is available?
Each year LSE part-funds a number of awards in conjunction with COLFUTURO.
COLFUTURO offers up to $50,000 as a loan to beneficiaries. Providing certain conditions are met, up to 80% of the loaned amount can be converted into a non-repayable scholarship.
LSE offers a 20% discount on the tuition fee for all COLFUTURO beneficiaries admitted to master's and doctoral programs. Additionally, two scholarships, covering the full cost of tuition fees, will be awarded to students of the COLFUTURO Semillero de Talentos programme.
