Students have the opportunity to choose from two branches of upper secondary education:
- Science and Technology.
- Humanities and Social Sciences.

- Grants and aid for natural persons
The Foundation, in efforts to encourage education and research, awarded several grants to students from both UIC Barcelona and FERT Batxillerat, who, as members of special-category large families or low-income families, would have otherwise been unable to continue their studies. - Grants and aid for legal entities
These grants are awarded based on the criteria of general interest and the Foundation’s objectives.
