Student Testimonial - Natalia Ropero: "I am deeply thankful to COLFUTURO for making possible pursuing an LLM at Duke University School of Law into a reality. The entire process, from applying to COLFUTURO loan-scholarship program to coordinating with Duke Law, was exceptionally smooth and well-structured, showing the commitment of both institutions to supporting Colombian professionals. COLFUTURO’s financial assistance and guidance have been invaluable, and the collaboration with Duke Law greatly facilitated my transition to studying abroad.

This experience has been transformative, and I am truly grateful for the trust and support invested in my academic and professional growth. My goal is to bring this expertise back to Colombia to contribute to the development of a stronger legal framework in these areas, helping to protect individuals’ rights and enhance compliance with global standards. I am truly grateful for the trust and support invested in my academic and professional growth, and I am committed to using this opportunity to drive positive change in Colombia’s legal landscape".
