Program
How our support works.
An eight-phase methodology and a model of shared responsibility that accompanies the student from school into professional life.
How we work
We establish alliances with secondary schools and higher education institutions, and run a phased methodology that brings both together around a single student.
Each phase has defined objectives, its own instruments and verifiable decision criteria. Methodological detail is shared with partner institutions within the framework of the corresponding agreement.
Circle of Contribution and Experience
Receive, learn, contribute.
Every beneficiary joins the Foundation and makes an in-kind contribution of an educational nature, defined according to their own skills: academic tutoring, design, communications, production of learning resources or administrative support.
The purpose is not financial. A student who enrolls without prior experience usually graduates with a degree and no demonstrable track record. The Circle addresses that gap from the first semester: by the end, the beneficiary has deliverables, references and a verifiable record of work.
Beneficiaries from earlier cohorts take part as tutors and mentors for the following ones, which builds a community of peer support.
Scope and conditions of the program
Nature of the relationship
The contribution is formalized in the Enrollment Agreement and in an individual plan signed by both parties. It consists of an in-kind, educational contribution in return for the access benefits secured with partner institutions. It does not constitute an employment relationship, does not generate wages or social benefits, and does not replace the functions of the Foundation’s own staff.
Time commitment and student protection
The individual plan sets a reasonable time commitment relative to the academic workload of the period, and is reduced, rescheduled or suspended whenever the student’s academic, health or personal circumstances require it. The contribution never operates as a sanction or as financial consideration.
Continuity of the benefit
Renewal of the access benefit depends on the academic commitments agreed with the higher education institution, not on the volume of the contribution made.
