Student testimonials
"What I would say to all the donors, first of all, thank you very much for betting on me and for trusting me. And probably the only way I can thank them right now is by giving everything I have left in my career. Life doesn't always make it easy for us to take those steps, but that's what it's all about, it's the adventure of living, of trying to fulfill that goal, that dream," said Noemí Guadalupe Vázquez León, a student of Administration and Marketing.
"To be able to study in one of the best universities in the country, is to be able to dedicate myself to helping other people.. You can really count on the fingers of one hand the people who at this moment can have access to an education of this level when they come from the bottom like me. It is something that I am very grateful for and that I think I will be able to take advantage of a lot," confessed Andrea Montserrat Retana Hernández, a student of Psychopedagogy.
"For all the people who have supported me, the donors of the scholarship, my parents, my friends, teachers, I would like to thank them fully.Because thanks to your support, to your help, I have enjoyed all the benefits that have been granted to me. I am where I am, I have been able to expand my horizons to a new world, and I have a broader vision of what I can achieve, as a professional, as an engineer," shared Carlos Ignacio Elías Contreras, a student of Mechatronics Engineering.
