In an effort to strengthen education at Simón Bolívar University (USB), AlumnUSB has announced the launch of a transformative project for the Biology departments. This ambitious program, called Biology 2025, is made possible thanks to a generous donation of $100,000 from the Lounsbury Foundation, an organization committed to advancing life sciences.
The project seeks to break down financial barriers and promote academic growth. One of the main initiatives is the allocation of scholarships for Biology students who are working on their undergraduate theses. These scholarships will allow them to complete their research without financial obstacles limiting their progress, encouraging the generation of high-quality knowledge and increasing opportunities for future graduate studies or entry into the labor market.
In addition, the contribution will fund grants for the development of life sciences, supporting Professors in their teaching activities and increasing the offer and quality of subjects. This type of support is crucial to promoting academic and professional excellence in a key area for scientific development.
Another pillar of this initiative is the renewal of equipment in USB laboratories. The donation will cover both the acquisition of new instruments and the repair of existing equipment, ensuring that students and teachers have the necessary tools to carry out innovative research and develop essential practical skills.
The impact of this project not only benefits the Biology program, but also serves as inspiration for future collaborations. From AlumnUSB, they extend an invitation to the entire community of graduates and allies to join forces in the search for resources that support other areas of knowledge. Donations from organizations like the Lounsbury Foundation demonstrate that investment in education is an effective way to build a promising future for Venezuela.

AlumnUSB deeply thanks the Lounsbury Foundation for believing in the potential of USB and for making possible a project that will transform lives and strengthen education in Venezuela. This is a powerful reminder that, by working together, it is possible to build a brighter future for students, teachers and the entire university community.
