Scholarships to Venezuela
|
We’re also committed to supporting students living in Venezuela. First, we continually support a professional group of students that annually participate in an intercollegiate design competition run by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). In the competition, Baja SAE, a team from the Universidad Simón Bolivar (in Caracas), build small off-road cars and compete against international teams of students. They have traveled to Washington and New York states to compete for the past 4 years.
Relevo Venezuela is a non-profit that has worked for the past five years closely with the community in El Hatillo (a suburb of Caracas) offering Saturday classes to more than 150 young people studying for their baccalaureate, in order to reinforce their studies and, especially, prepare them to enter university. Relevo Venezuela has been able to become a civil association, allowing them to build bridges and alliances with many and more people who believe, like Relevo, that training is the main engine of progress and growth of the human being.
