Dear friend,
As a Venezuelan, I would like to invite you to be part of our cause, especially if you are a graduate of IESA. I firmly believe that education changes lives, strengthens communities and contributes to progress. With your contribution you can support the dream of many young people who have an excellent academic profile, but without an ally, cannot afford their studies.
IESA has fulfilled its commitments in a significantly adverse environment, derived from the economic, social and institutional reality of our country in recent years. Under these conditions we have assumed the responsibility of facilitating access to the institute of candidates who, although qualified, lack the means to afford the cost of their education.
IESA Foundation has bridged that gap with its donor network. Socioeconomic diversity is today an important feature of the IESA student body. Thanks to donations like yours, these young people with insufficient purchasing power, but with a high potential for transformational leadership and great commitment, can continue to be part of IESA classrooms. This will not only enrich the debates, but by becoming graduates, public and private sector organizations will be enriched by professionals of the highest quality who understand the environment and who have the capacity to successfully cope with adversity.
To support these masters candidates at IESA, who have the merits to be admitted but do not have the financial resources to pay tuition, we have created the Financial Assistance Program (PAF), whose purpose is that these candidates can receive Credits, total or partial exoneration of tuition (depending on their grade point average) to study the Masters program they desire.
The success of PAF rests upon the generous collaboration of a group of individuals and enterprises that have joined the endeavour of the IESA Foundation raising funds campaigns, as well as the support of banking entities that manage the funds through a trust. The student signs a loan agreement with the terms and conditions established by the bank.
In this way, we create a multiplier effect, ensuring that the aid we give today, the beneficiary student will repay tomorrow and thus favor new candidates.
Thanks to the vital and constant collaboration of people like you, we will continue to carry out our mission and continue to be one of the most outstanding management schools in Latin America. For this reason, we encourage you from this website to contribute to our projects.
Your generosity can make someone with the potential you have today, graduate tomorrow from IESA. Together we will multiply the impact in the formation of leaders and responsible managers.
We hope to have your support.
Receive a warm greeting,
Lorenzo Mendoza
Member of the IESA Foundation Council
