1,000 Scholarships
At least 1,000 poor
students who got good
grades in high school
will have the
opportunity to pursue
college studies in Costa
Rican private
universities, thanks to
an agreement between the
Arias Administration and
the higher learning
institutions.
The chairman of the
Social Aid Institution (IMAS
in Spanish) Jose Li
explained that the
students will be chosen
among the 8,500 who
obtained their high
school diploma in
December and had
benefited from the
“Avancemos” Program,
which provides aid for
students from poor
families not to quit
school. |
