The Fundación para el Futuro de Colombia (COLFUTURO) is a financial support initiative for Colombian professionals that have demonstrated academic excellence, who wish to broaden their career development by pursuing Master or Doctoral research higher degree studies at the top global 100 universities to build on human capital for the future of Colombia.

Candidates may be awarded scholarships for 80% of the loaned amount, provided they accomplish these requirements:
