Scholarship applicants can choose to study at any of the HEIs with which we have agreements.

• The institution will make a pre-qualification that will be based on compliance with the requirements and initial information about family income. • Pre-qualified applicants will be invited to a personal or virtual interview at the Timeart Foundation offices, from whose results a list of pre-selected candidates will emerge. • A home visit will be made to pre-selected candidates, in which their family income must be verified through reasonable documentation. Or they must be referred by an institution that knows and endorses their socioeconomic situation. • The Foundation Council will evaluate each case and determine if assistance is appropriate. If so, it will determine the type of aid to be awarded and its decision will be final. • The Timeart Foundation will convene the final beneficiaries, with whom the remaining procedures for the grant will be completed, which involve the HEIs.
