Colfuturo announced that its Programa Crédito Beca will enter a new phase without financial support from the National Government starting in 2026. President Gustavo Petro backed the decision, arguing that the entity is private and has mainly benefited high socioeconomic strata in major cities. The program has enabled nearly 25,000 Colombians to pursue master's and doctoral degrees at top universities worldwide.
