EIT InnoEnergy teamed up with local funding bodies in Colombia (COLFUTURO), Guatemala (GuateFuturo) and Honduras (HonduFuturo) to support the ambition of prospective students.

Full and partial waivers are awarded based on a combination of academic criteria (such as past performance, quality of previous education and university), ideas for or experience with innovation and entrepreneurship and profiles that enrich our student body.
