Grant Description

Colombia's ethnic communities, when compared to the rest of Colombia's population, face a significant gap in access to education, particularly at the undergraduate and graduate level.

USAID/Colombia's Martin Luther King (MLK) Scholarship Program works to improve the socio-economic conditions of ethnic communities by addressing the educational gap faced by Afro-Colombian and Indigenous persons.
