A HISTORY

OF EMPOWERMENT &
GENUINE COLLABORATION:

In 2010, a powerful vision was born, one that would change the lives of Latin American youth and inspire the world. A vision that began with the New eXponential Thought Organization (NeXT), the chief architect of this social endeavor, now known as BeNeXT Global.

Futuro Las Americas emerged from the collective will and unwavering commitment of visionaries who saw a brighter future for Latin American youth. It started as a dream to provide access to the world’s best universities on scholarships, but it has become so much more—a movement that has the power to transform communities, ignite dreams, and change destinies.

The early years were marked by challenges, from navigating the ever-changing political landscape to rallying universities that truly shared the dream of supporting middle-class Latin American students. Only a handful of universities stepped forward, demonstrating a genuine commitment to creating opportunities for those often overlooked. Yet, as the program expanded, it was met with changing university leadership and shifting priorities.

The heart of the program, however, lies in the students and families who believed in the vision. From Latin American schools across the Americas to the few universities and community partners who shared NeXT’s commitment, the support was unwavering. Together, they raised $28.1 million to support scholarship efforts, proving that the dream of education knows no boundaries.

Between 2013 and 2019, Futuro Las Americas achieved a remarkable milestone—it became the largest privately coordinated higher education financial aid effort in the Americas of its time. This achievement is a testament to the determination and collaboration that powered the initiative forward.

As the program evolved, it welcomed 1,200 scholars from Latin America, expanding its reach and impact. In 2019, the inaugural scholar summit at Georgetown University brought together esteemed partners, including the Organization of American States, EarthJustice, the Smithsonian, the US Library of Congress, the National Women’s Law Center, Georgetown University and the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, the Embassies of Mexico, Panama, and the Dominican Republic in Washington DC, among many others. This summit was a testament to what collaboration and dedication can achieve.
