Applications Open for Cuatrecasas Scholarships and Manuel Olivencia Award

The Cuatrecasas Foundation has opened applications for the 2027 Cuatrecasas Scholarships and Manuel Olivencia Award for University Excellence. Both initiatives support law students’ academic development. They also reflect the Foundation’s commitment to education as a driver of social progress, diversity, and excellence.

 Cuatrecasas Scholarships

The Foundation will award six scholarships of €4,000 each to students enrolled in law degrees or double degrees that include law at Spanish public universities. Applicants must demonstrate outstanding academic performance. The scholarships will provide financial support, helping recipients continue their studies and strengthen their personal independence. Funds must cover expenses associated with recipients’ academic education.

 Manuel Olivencia Award for Academic Excellence

The award provides €50,000 gross and is open to students in their final year at a Spanish public or private university. Eligible programs include a law degree, double degrees that include law, and a master’s degree in law. The initiative recognizes academic excellence and supports candidates with outstanding records and strong, ambitious study plans. The funding may support a master’s or doctoral program, or a business law research project, during the 2027-2028 academic year. Recipients may pursue their studies at a university in Spain or abroad.

The Cuatrecasas Scholarships and the Manuel Olivencia Award for University Excellence translate this commitment into meaningful opportunities for talented, driven law students with the potential to make an impact.
