Welcome to the Magdalena Foundation, Inc. (MFI) web page.
Colombia is a country with complex social problems, high unemployment and cost of living, where access to higher education has become a myth for those with scarce resources. For these reasons, MFI wants to provide college opportunities to poor but meritorious students who otherwise would not realize their potential.
MFI is an
Non Governmental Organization
(NGO) registered in the state of Virginia, USA, under the non-profit charter, section 501 (c) (3) of the IRS code. Its board works on a voluntary basis. MFI assigns 98.8% of its resources directly to the scholarship program. MFI students are encouraged to become actively involved in the solution of problems that affect their own communities.
MFI believes that proper education will empower its scholars to become model citizens because during their academic career, with the assistance of a sister NGO, Fundehumac, they receive training to become leaders and part of the solution of the problems that affect their communities.
MFI invites you to become acquainted with its work and perhaps you will join us to attain our ideals.
