IE University and Fundación José Antonio Llorente launch scholarship program for young talent

IE Foundation and Fundación José Antonio Llorente present a new scholarship program that will strengthen the training of bright young people with an international profile, committed and innovative, who will be able to study the Master in Strategic Marketing & Communication, Master in Digital Marketing & Analytics or the Master in Creative Direction, Content & Branding at the academic institution. The agreement between the two institutions was signed this Monday in Madrid.

IE University and Fundación José Antonio Llorente will grant two scholarships annually, covering 100% of tuition fees. Selected students will attend a ten-month English-taught program in Madrid. After completing their full-time programs, they will have the opportunity to undertake internships at any of LLYC’s offices worldwide.

To qualify, candidates must have completed their bachelor’s degree, demonstrate an outstanding academic record, and pass the IE University admissions process. They must also originate from one of the 13 countries where LLYC operates: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Spain, or the United States. The scholarship committee will evaluate candidates’ social commitment and leadership skills, prioritizing applicants in financial need.
