The National Government created the line of grants to provide tuition assistance to the most vulnerable students of Public Higher Education Institutions, established within the framework of Decreto Legislativo 662 de 2020, by allocating additional resources from the National Government.
The National Government, since Ley 1955 de 2019, by which the National Development Plan 2018-2022 “Pacto por Colombia, pacto por la equidad” was adopted, incorporated the strategy of gradual free access to public higher education for young people in conditions of socio-economic vulnerability. Therefore, the Program for Access and Excellence in Higher Education “Generación E” was created, which, along with the Jóvenes en Acción Program of the Department of Social Prosperity, expects that by 2022, about 320,000 young people in the country will have access to the 63 public institutions of higher education in the country, receiving payment of 100% of the value of tuition and also with support for maintenance, as a strategy for permanence and graduation.
