ANKAY identifies, provides incentives to, and awards talent.

ANKAY is a nonprofit organization that awards talented youth from disadvantaged backgrounds with full scholarships to study in Peru’s best universities. Since 2008, ANKAY has identified promising youth from public schools in poor neighborhoods of Peru and provided them with tools for the future

The ANKAY SCHOLARSHIP is more than just financing. ANKAY guides its scholars through the university entrance exam process and provides academic and social support throughout the student’s entire university studies. ANKAY selects scholarship winners through an annual selection process which is open to students from public high schools in impoverished districts. Students are invited to apply and must pass an academic aptitude test before finalists go through a personal interview with a qualifying jury.

Today ANKAY has five scholars studying at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) and three scholars studying at the Universidad del Pacífico (UP).
