The Foundation is committed to continuing to provide scholarships in the STEM field and to activate specific training courses in the same sector. Any donation received will be aimed at making that possible.

Among its past activities, the Carla Mercurio Foundation has committed to helping exceptional students in need to pursue the Silicon Valley Fellowship and attend a life-changing experience that, in the past 20 years, has enabled hundreds of students to reach the next step in their careers.
