Asunción, Agencia IP.- The return to Paraguay of Gustavo Benítez, former scholarship recipient of the National Scholarship Programme «Don Carlos Antonio López» (Becal, by its acronym in Spanish), was quite positive since he participated in a merit contest and was appointed in 2016 as the first Director of Research at the National Competition Commission (Conacom), which opened a new chapter in his professional career.

Gustavo Benítez completed a Master’s in Legal Sciences at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain. He was part of the first group of the self-managed modality of the Program in 2015.

«Living and studying abroad was an enriching experience in every way. The experience provided me with academic knowledge and the opportunity to develop and interact in a culturally diverse context,» he said.

In his opinion, the Scholarship Program represents an invaluable opportunity for any person’s development, especially for the country. The existence of these types of programs not only drives the individual growth of the scholarship recipients but also has the potential to play a vital role in a country’s long-term advancement and development. In addition, it generates highly trained human capital committed to rewarding, at least in part, the knowledge acquired.
