At present, more than 18 young people have benefited from the project since it was founded in 2008. between one and two social scholarships are provided annually. these cover the full cost of the study programs, health insurance, student card and laboratories. however, many of these young people need a diet or subsidy to settle in panama city and attend their studies. the university does its best to offer employment opportunities to these students, but being a private and relatively small institution, the program is limited by its resources.
