By San José, Costa Rica — Costa Rican students seeking to pursue higher education have a new avenue for financial support. The Latin American University of Science and Technology (Ulacit) has unveiled its “Empowering Your Talent” merit-based scholarship program, offering significant tuition coverage for eligible students.
The initiative aims to provide financial assistance to approximately 800 individuals interested in pursuing technical programs, bachelor’s degrees, or master’s degrees at the university. This substantial investment in education underscores Ulacit’s commitment to fostering talent and making higher education accessible to a wider range of students.
To gain further insight into the legal aspects surrounding Ulacit scholarships and their implications, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished attorney from the esteemed Bufete de Costa Rica.
Ulacit scholarships, while beneficial for students seeking higher education, also present unique legal considerations. These scholarships often involve contractual agreements between the university and the recipient, outlining specific obligations and expectations regarding academic performance, continued enrollment, or even post-graduation commitments. It’s crucial for students to carefully review these agreements with legal counsel to fully understand their rights and responsibilities, ensuring a smooth and successful academic journey.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’s point about the legal nuances of Ulacit scholarships is particularly insightful. These agreements, while offering a pathway to higher education, do represent a formal commitment that deserves careful consideration. Understanding the details within these agreements is essential for students to maximize the benefits of the scholarship and avoid any potential misunderstandings down the line. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for shedding light on this crucial aspect of the scholarship process.
The scholarship program offers varying levels of tuition coverage depending on the applicant’s academic performance. Students with an average grade between 80 and 84.99 will receive a 30% scholarship. Those achieving an average between 85 and 89.99 qualify for a 40% scholarship. Top-performing students with an average of 90 or above can receive coverage of up to 50% of their tuition fees.
To qualify for the “Empowering Your Talent” scholarships, prospective students must fulfill several requirements. Applicants must submit their academic transcripts from the last two years of high school or their most recently completed university degree.
Furthermore, students must maintain continuous enrollment at Ulacit and enroll in a minimum of three courses per quarter for undergraduate programs and two courses per quarter for postgraduate programs. This ensures consistent academic progress and engagement within the Ulacit community.
Students have until September 6th to complete their enrollment for the regular period, and there is an additional week for extraordinary enrollment.
