General and Emergency Fund

If you decide to make a recurring and automatic donation (monthly, quarterly or annually) to the USB and support various projects and/or programs, you can donate to our General and Emergency Fund. This fund complements… permanent programs nearing their goals. It also provides financial support for freight payments for donated equipment or donated books to USB, purchases of equipment requested by administrative units not included in Permanent or Previous Programs, and serves as an emergency fund for projects -with prior authorization from the AlumnUSB Board of Directors.

Why donate monthly to this Program?

As AlumnUSB grows, we have developed Permanent Programs to support specific areas. However, Universidad Simón Bolívar has urgent and essential needs to maintain education. Your monthly donations… to this program help provide crucial resources for projects and needs not covered by our regular programs.

More ways to help

Scholarship for students

Our scholarship program helps low-income students (based on socioeconomic studies conducted by USB) and with an excellent academic record (measured based on the GPA and progress of their degree).

Enrique Planchart Teaching Awards

The Teaching Award arises from the importance of academic excellence and the dedication of USB professors. Circumstances such as the exodus and low salaries have motivated us to create a recognition for those who strive to educate future generations of professionals in Venezuela.

Transport

USB is facing a crisis of accessibility and physical presence on its campus. Many students, staff, and faculty struggle to get to the two campuses due to fuel shortages, lack of own vehicles, and intermittent university transportation.

Infrastructure

Higher education institutions, and in particular Universidad Simón Bolívar, have suffered due to the economic crisis, with budget cuts affecting infrastructure and operations. The most visible reduction is USB’s inability to maintain its infrastructure at 100%.
