The project

To support future artists who cannot afford university, Fundadela built a network of institutions and individuals who donate to this initiative. From 2019 to 2021, more than 25 high-achieving students in education, music and visual arts received support.

Why it matters

In Guatemala, fewer than one in four young people of upper secondary age are enrolled at that level, according to the Ministry of Education, and reaching university is rarer still. For a young artist from a low-income family, a scholarship decides whether they continue their training or give it up. The program is sustained by a network of institutions and individual donors.
