Scholarships
We aim for young Wichí individuals to pursue tertiary or university studies in a context of interculturality, providing them with equal opportunities to develop the necessary skills to actively participate in society and strengthen their own identity.
The idea of this program is for every young Wichi student from the western province of Formosa, studying in the city of Formosa, to receive a scholarship of 25,000 pesos. This scholarship will cover the support of tutors and teachers, provide a place to study, and cover the necessary meals.
Through the Wichi University Scholarship Program, over 100 students have been granted scholarships, and 20 of them have already graduated:
- 11 Bachelor's degrees in Nursing
- 2 Music teachers
- 2 Educational Psychologists
- 1 Agribusiness Technician
- 1 Special Education Teacher
- 1 Geography Teacher
- 1 Visual Arts Teacher
- 1 Mathematics Teacher
Having these professionals is a tremendous advancement for the communities!
This year, 50 students will move from the mountains to the city to pursue their studies.
