To guide new generations in becoming global leaders, COASMEDAS partnered with Florida Global University (FGU) and American Elite School (AES). This partnership allows young Colombians to access AES’s «Dual Diploma» program, which offers a US high school diploma alongside their native one. They can also apply for a Bachelor’s Degree through FGU’s special scholarship program, the «Professional Scholarship Program.»
Additionally, COASMEDAS members can access other educational benefits like Master’s and Doctorate degrees from FGU, continuing education opportunities, language courses, and more.
