Through the 'Impulsaton' campaign, subsidized educational credits will be granted to vulnerable young people seeking to enter higher education in the second semester of 2021. Among the long-term lines for undergraduate credit, is the 'Fund for Guarantees - Codeudor', intended for students who prove that one, or both parents have been confirmed cases of contagion of COVID-19, or that prove the economic impact on the family nucleus for reasons related to COVID-19. The user can pay 0% ,10% or 25% of the requested credit while studying. The credits have a subsidized interest rate, that is, the credit will only be valued according to the Consumer Price Index (annual CPI). Students also receive a support of COP $ 904,770 per semester, which is increased annually according to the CPI.
In July 2021 the call for the second semester of 2021 was opened, which will remain open until September 17, 2021.
