SubscribeThe Cuatrecasas Foundation, a leader in promoting education and equal opportunities, opens the call for the Manuel Olivencia Scholarships, an initiative that demonstrates its firm commitment to social transformation by supporting young talent in the legal field. True to its mission to contribute to the development of individuals and society, the foundation embraces education as a driving force for change and progress, promoting diversity and academic excellence with two incentive options within the framework of the call for proposals:
Manuel Olivencia Scholarship: A financial aid program aimed at students pursuing a bachelor’s degree or double degree in law at Spanish public universities who demonstrate outstanding academic performance and have obtained a MEC scholarship (scholarship by the Spanish Ministry of Education) or equivalent for the corresponding course. Candidates must be residents of Spain and meet a minimum entrance grade or academic record, depending on the course. The foundation will award four financial grants, each worth €4,000 gross, to cover additional training expenses, academic materials, computer equipment, and international travel expenses, which promote students' personal autonomy.
Manuel Olivencia Award for University Excellence: Aimed at those in the final year of a bachelor’s degree in law, any double degree with law, or a master's degree in law at Spanish universities, whether public or private. Applicants must have an excellent academic record, be fluent in English, and not be beneficiaries of other financial aid for the same program, except for that granted by the host university. The award, worth €50,000 gross, recognizes academic excellence and supports master's and doctoral studies, as well as research projects in business law, both in Spain and abroad.
Registration for both categories will be open until January 31, 2026.
Regarding the Manuel Olivencia Scholarships, Rafael Fontana, vice president of the Cuatrecasas Foundation, said: "With this program, the Cuatrecasas Foundation aims to recognize talent and support the qualifications, excellence, and professional experience that will enable the lawyers of the future to freely and responsibly perform their legal profession, which is a fundamental element in the development and prosperity of our society."
Since its creation, the Cuatrecasas Foundation has placed education at the heart of its social action, convinced that access to knowledge and quality training are essential tools for building a more just, inclusive society, one that is prepared for the challenges of the future. The Manuel Olivencia Scholarships are a tangible example of this commitment, offering real opportunities to talented and dedicated law students.
