In the middle of the COVID-19 emergency, education does not stop, and our institution has decided to keep the scholarships of eight out of 10 students. In addition to this, we face the challenge of providing special support to students who, because of the current circumstances, see the continuity of their studies threatened.
Every student who approached us to communicate a particular complicated situation allowed us to see an entire family in trouble. We could not leave them alone. For this reason, CETYS University convened employees, students, alumni, and the community in general to join in by participating in a special fundraising campaign through the CETYS Solidario initiative by supporting the most affected students and their families. Each case was studied and assessed by an appointed committee that determined equally the level of support each applicant would receive.
Under the premise of moving “Forward Together,” we managed to engage the entire CETYS family in an exercise of unprecedented empathy and philanthropy. For the first time in our history, a crowdfunding campaign was used, through which we sought to trigger the human side of all members of the CETYS community. On the one hand, donations are carried out to support students, while they themselves lead initiatives that help the community.
In this way CETYS Solidario helps to change awareness based on the theme of philanthropy, and breaks paradigms to move “Forward Together.
