On August 15, Eguía Marcas y Patentes had the honor of taking part in the 3rd Gathering in support of the Scholarship Fund of the Universidad Católica de Córdoba (UCC), an initiative that seeks to expand access to higher education for students who lack the financial means to pay for a university degree.
The event was held on the UCC campus and brought together companies, public-sector organizations, and members of the university community, all united by the common goal of providing greater educational opportunities.
The collaboration between these sectors seeks to ensure that more and more young people can fulfill their educational and professional goals, contributing to a more inclusive and equitable society.
Why are we part of the UCC Scholarship Fund?
At Eguía, we firmly believe in the transformative power of education, which is why we support the UCC Scholarship Fund. We are convinced that all young people should have the opportunity to access a high-quality academic education, regardless of their financial situation. This initiative not only promotes educational and social inclusion but also fosters the development of future leaders committed to society.
The Universidad Católica de Córdoba, with its mission of educating people of science, conscience, and commitment, shares our values of social and community growth. Since its founding, it has offered degree programs that respond to the needs of today’s world: engineering, chemical sciences, medicine, nursing, and veterinary medicine, among others, which require significant investment in infrastructure and resources.
The Universidad Católica de Córdoba Scholarship Fund: a bridge to the future
Talented young people without financial resources gaining access to a well-rounded professional education. This initiative is supported by graduates and companies that, out of gratitude and commitment, invest in excellent education.
Since its beginnings, the UCC has run scholarship and support programs evaluated by a Scholarship Committee, which reviews each case individually to ensure that recipients meet the required academic standards.
Thanks to this rigorous selection and follow-up, the UCC has achieved a graduation rate above 50%, 14 points higher than the average at public universities. In addition, 92% of those who graduated between October 2022 and January 2024 are already employed, which shows how effective the program is.
Tangible results of a collective commitment
To date, 3,258 scholarships have been awarded, and 34% of UCC students have benefited from the program. Notably, 65% of scholarship recipients are women, which highlights the UCC’s commitment to gender equity in education.
At Eguía Marcas y Patentes, we are convinced that companies are a fundamental part of society and that we must therefore support initiatives that foster the well-rounded development of our community. Education is a powerful tool that can transform lives, which is why we have actively supported the UCC Scholarship Fund since its creation.
Our ongoing commitment to education, always standing alongside the Universidad Católica de Córdoba
As a company, we are proud to renew our commitment to the Universidad Católica de Córdoba Scholarship Fund. Education allows us to learn, discover, develop, and grow, creating a more promising and challenging future for everyone.
