What is the FEE Scholarship?
In 1994, Sister Socorro Juliá, rscj, Dean Emeritus of Development, with the support of several leaders from the private sector, created the Exceptional Student Fund (FEE) project. The project aims to provide support to talented high school students who wish to study at the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón Heart. Thanks to the FEE Scholarship program, over 750 talented students have benefited from an excellent education in our university community for the past 27 years.
FEE is much more than a scholarship program. It is a program that allows benefactors to meet and support the best young talent in Puerto Rico.
Who is the FEE Scholarship for?
The FEE Scholarship is for new students from high school with high academic success indicators and demonstrated financial need. The selected young people stand out for their leadership, entrepreneurship, social-community commitment and academic performance.
