Due to financial limitations, many of students are unable to attend top-notch universities, which creates disparities in employment chances. With more than 1,500 students receiving over €8 million in financing from Bcas in just two years, the organisation has established itself as a pioneer in ISA finance in both Spain and throughout Europe.
Javier Ausín, co-founder and COO of Bcas said, “It has developed a ‘scoring’ system that has enabled us to finance over 1,500 students in just two years. We are already seeing our students securing better job opportunities. The EIF and Bcas share a common vision. This is, undoubtedly, the most significant milestone we have achieved to date,”.
