Eight students, who graduated from Belén Educa Foundation schools were awarded the Anacleto Angelini Fabbri Scholarship, which provides funds for annual maintenance and support for higher education studies.

During the award ceremony, Empresas Copec’s Chairman, Roberto Angelini, reaffirmed the Company’s commitment to the Foundation and its mission to provide quality education to children and young people from vulnerable sectors, with the aim of building a better future for new generations.  “The educational gap in Chile is a social pain that must be addressed with a sense of urgency, considering that the main driver of a country’s development is education,” he said.

Pedro Larraín, executive director of Belén Educa Foundation, valued the partnership of almost two decades with Empresas Copec and, referring to the scholarship recipients, said: “We believe in what we do because we have seen the results and those results are our students.”

Since 2006, more than 130 young students have been awarded this scholarship, an initiative that is in line with the purpose of Empresas Copec: To shape the world for future generations.
