Testimonials
“What motivated me to donate to the Scholarship Fund was the opportunity to support future talents in their development and help them assume leadership positions, fostering transformation through knowledge. I see education as a powerful tool for inclusion and a legacy that brings me fulfillment. I had access to quality public education, something not everyone has. Supporting the Scholarship Program is my way of giving back the opportunities I have received.” – José Marcelo de Oliveira, donor.
“This is the most meaningful part of the FDC Scholarship Program: it has changed my life and the lives of my entire family. In the past, many in my family valued work over education. Today, they see me achieving, at university, what our family had not accomplished in years, even decades. That is the most rewarding part. Education is the key to everything.” – Ângela Gabriela, undergraduate scholarship recipient at FDC.
