Félix is proof of this, and he is no exception: he is a reflection of what happens when talent finds support. Because behind every open call, there is a story waiting to be told. To learn more about the program and apply for the scholarship, visit: https://www.fundacionsusbuenosvecinos.org After graduating from high school at the Interamerican Academy of Panama, Cerro Viento campus, he became the first graduate to obtain the Sus Buenos Vecinos University Scholarship for Excellence, which allowed him to study Physical Engineering at Tecnológico de Monterrey, one of the most prestigious universities in the region. Today, his story continues to be written, demonstrating that talent, when accompanied by opportunities, can go very far. A new call, thousands of stories to impact. Just like Félix's story, there are many other boys and girls with the potential to transform their future if they receive the right support at the right time. That is why the Sus Buenos Vecinos Foundation of Banco General announces the opening of the 2026 call for the Sus Buenos Vecinos Scholarships for Excellence program, aimed at students who are currently in 6th grade in public schools or in private social purpose schools whose annual cost does not exceed B/. 500. Today, his day starts very differently: he analyzes data and builds models that impact the business from his role as a Data Scientist at Banco General. The decisive moment in his story was an opportunity that, at that time, seemed distant: a scholarship. Félix is one of the graduates of the Sus Buenos Vecinos Scholarships for Excellence program, an initiative that seeks to identify and support students with high academic performance, so that they can develop their educational and personal potential in a private school. Thanks to this scholarship, Félix not only successfully completed his schooling, but also opened the door to new challenges. The call will be open from April 1 to 30. Investing in education is investing in the country. Over more than 15 years, the Sus Buenos Vecinos Scholarships for Excellence program has accompanied 269 graduates across the country and currently benefits 217 students who are pursuing their secondary education, reflecting a sustained commitment to talent development and the generation of educational opportunities. Each year, dozens of students begin a path that not only transforms their lives, but also those of their families and communities. Social purpose schools are understood to be educational centers administered by non-profit organizations that offer their students access to private education at a low cost. Selected students will receive a scholarship to attend their entire secondary education in a private school, with the comprehensive support of the Foundation throughout the process. Thirteen years ago, Félix Rodríguez woke up every morning to go to the Bilingual Pedro J. Ameglio T. School, where he was studying elementary school.
