Country Program of Costa Rica

  • Universidad LEAD (ULead)
  • Universidad Latina (ULatina)
  • Universidad Dual Invenio (Invenio)

The country program was launched in 2023 in collaboration with the Swiss foundation Edunámica. Edunámica was co-founded more than 20 years ago by our Foundation Board member Steffen Tolle and is active in educational projects in Costa Rica. Edunámica focuses primarily on promoting talent at secondary and primary school level. We will now be awarding scholarships to talented students, particularly those from rural areas, to study at a private university.
