Madrid, 22^nd April. 2024

Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), part of Abdul Latif Jameel Energy and one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies collaborates with IE Foundation through the Young Talented Leaders program to offer a scholarship to an outstanding student for each of the projects it has been developing at the rate of one student per academic year for the last 11 years. On this occasion, the scholarship, linked to the Carmonita Ministerio project -currently under construction and which will reach a total capacity of 477 MWp-, will be awarded to a brilliant student from Extremadura, covering all the expenses to study a four-year degree at IE University, including living expenses and tuition.

The Young Talent Leaders program is jointly sponsored by the IE Foundation and FRV with the objective of enabling outstanding students with high personal and academic performance to study at IE University. The admissions process includes a 500-word essay reflecting the reasons why the candidate stands out and why they are applying for the scholarship. The selection criteria are based on the candidate’s demonstration of high academic performance and potential, in addition to meeting the other established criteria.

The scholarship covers training and educational expenses, including tuition, and support for living expenses during the four years of the degree program.

In this way, FRV ensures that bright students from diverse geographic locations and cultural, economic and professional backgrounds have the opportunity to access world-class education and professional development, thus contributingto driving positive social change by supporting the advancement of education in the area, in this case Extremadura, where Carmonita Ministerio is located. This solar plant located in the province of Badajoz belongs to the Carmonita node (to which the Norte, Sur and IV projects also belong), making up one of the largest photovoltaic complexes in Spain.

We believe that sharing success is a business imperative, and this philosophy has led us to collaborate with the Fundación IE through the Young Talented Leaders scholarship program. This allows us, in turn, to drive positive social change by supporting education in the communities where we are present, consolidating our commitment to regions such as Extremadura
