Collaboration agreement

The 200 study grants to be given by Planeta Formación y Universidades are the result of an agreement signed by Andrés Vallejo Arcos, Ambassador of Ecuador in Spain, and Carlos Giménez, CEO of Planeta Formación y Universidades. Through this agreement, the higher education network undertakes to grant these aids to those Ecuadorian residents in our country who stand out for their academic excellence, with the average of their transcript being the main selection criterion for their concession.

For Carlos Giménez, CEO of Planeta Formación y Universidades, "at Planeta Formación y Universidades we work to offer the opportunity to grow through training. The launch of these training grants is a good example of this commitment and we hope to contribute to encouraging the training of those Ecuadorian residents in our country with the best records, encouraging them to continue preparing and training for their professional future".
