IE University and the José Antonio Llorente Foundation launch young talent scholarship program

IE University’s IE Foundation and the José Antonio Llorente Foundation have launched a new scholarship program for outstanding, committed and innovative young people with an international profile. Grants will be available for the Master in Strategic Marketing & Communication, Master in Digital Marketing & Analytics and the Master in Creative Direction,  Content & Branding. The agreement between the two institutions was signed on Monday in Madrid. 

IE University and the José Antonio Llorente Foundation will award two annual scholarships that will cover 100% of tuition fees. Students will attend classes in Madrid, on full-time programs, in English, for a period of 10 months. After the program, students will be offered internships in any of LLYC's offices around the world.

To apply for the scholarship, candidates must first have a degree, along with an outstanding academic record, then pass the IE University admission process. Only candidates from one of the 13 countries where LLYC has offices can apply: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Spain, the United States, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Portugal and the Dominican Republic. Those responsible for the scholarship program will assess the social commitment and leadership capacity of the candidates, and will prioritize young people with economic needs.

Not only as future leaders of tomorrow, but as engines of change to build a better society. With these scholarships we honor his legacy and contribute, with the help of IE, to developing the human and professional potential of young people," explained Irene Rodríguez, President of the José Antonio Llorente Foundation.

We share a common vision based on innovation, global impact, communication as a transformative tool and education as a catalyst for positive change," added Gonzalo Garland, Executive Vice President of the IE Foundation.
