About the
Foundation
We are a nonprofit organization that brings to life Grupo Financiero BBVA México’s social commitment, collaborating with those who seek to transform and strengthen collective and individual efforts through innovative programs that foster social mobility and generate a positive impact on society.
For more than two decades, we have promoted educational development and provided support to boys and girls, young people, and families through scholarships, tuition-free schools, and donations to institutions committed to learning. In addition, we work to revitalize the social fabric of communities by strengthening their well-being and extending our support to those affected by natural disasters.
Mission
Fundación BBVA México’s mission is to secure and channel resources to support social development programs for vulnerable populations, including scholarship programs, educational initiatives, cultural and artistic promotion activities, and direct assistance in the event of disasters or emergencies. This is carried out with the objective of providing sustainable opportunities for advancement that contribute to building a more equitable and just society for the benefit of Mexico.
Vision
To be the leading organization in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility by promoting social mobility and reducing inequalities through education and social development.

Challenges Addressed
Socioeconomic inequality and unequal access to opportunities remain major barriers to social mobility.
Between 2016 and 2022, the proportion of young people aged 18 to 24 who attained more years of education than their parents declined from 72.3% to 68.2%2.
In Mexico, the percentage of the population experiencing educational lag increased from 19.0% to 19.4% in the most recent measurements, meaning that 25.1 million people lack the mandatory education corresponding to their age, disrupting the social mobility ladder before university3.
Higher education continues to be the most profitable driver of mobility, as obtaining a bachelor’s degree increases average income by 85% compared to individuals who only complete high school. However, for young people in lower income deciles, the opportunity cost of studying instead of working often restricts access, perpetuating cycles of low productivity and limited income4.

Contact Center – Foundation Liaison
To ensure close and effective support for the beneficiaries of this program, we have a Foundation Liaison operating through a specialized Contact Center5.
This telephone service is designed to address any concerns and needs of scholarship recipients, providing personalized guidance in areas such as:
Vocational guidance
Academic support
Psychological support
Administrative matters
Follow-up on specific project needs
Resolution of applicant inquiries during calls for applications
5 As an outsourced service, the Contact Center is exclusively dedicated to supporting young participants in the BBVA Scholarships Program for Inspiring Young Boys and Girls.
During 2025, the Contact Center managed more than 89,500 telephone interactions, strengthening the comprehensive support provided to our scholarship recipients.
Contact line:
800 122 6689
We adopt a proactive and preventive approach to supporting our scholarship recipients by combining continuous assessments with direct consultations through the Call Center. As part of this model, we implement an escalation system based on surveys that allows us to identify potential dropout cases and activate a comprehensive support plan that includes remote assistance through group and individual counseling via webinars and high-impact workshops, complemented by personalized action plans consisting of four to six sessions.
Online Education
For high school and university scholarship recipients living in remote areas with limited access to educational institutions, we offer a distance learning model. These students receive a different type of financial support than the conventional program, including the provision of a laptop and coverage of internet connectivity expenses, ensuring they have the necessary tools to continue their education.
This model is sustained through the partnership between Fundación BBVA, Prepanet, and Tecmilenio, which contribute key components to the program’s implementation.
In addition, participants have access to resources designed to strengthen their digital competencies and essential skills, such as learning strategies, time management, and stress and anxiety management. They also receive specialized support in academic, vocational, and psychological areas.
We promote social interaction through integration activities, group webinars, and the creation of support networks, all reinforced by the ongoing guidance of tutors.
The Online Education track generated significant impact, indirectly benefiting 913 people across various communities and supporting more than 320 scholarship recipients enrolled in this modality.

NPS
We implement the Net Promoter Score (NPS), a BBVA methodology that measures the monthly satisfaction level of our beneficiaries. Through this index, participants are asked to rate, on a scale from 0 to 10, their willingness to recommend our program to others.
The data obtained through NPS is essential for evaluating whether our actions effectively respond to the needs of scholarship recipients. This tool enables us to identify potential gaps, design targeted strategies, and improve the overall experience of those who are part of the program.
NPS is conducted broadly across all scholarship recipients on a monthly basis by the Analytics team within BBVA México’s Data division. Following data collection, both quantitative and qualitative analyses are performed to determine areas for program improvement.

Challenges Addressed
In Mexico, people with disabilities face significant challenges related to discrimination, limited access to academic and employment opportunities, and educational systems that are not adequately adapted to their needs.
50% of the population living with a disability is in poverty6.
The percentage of people with disabilities living in poverty is between 6% and 10% higher than that of those without disabilities. In addition, people with disabilities are more likely to fall into extreme poverty.
The labor force participation rate for people with disabilities is 38%, compared to 67% for people without disabilities7.

Scholarship recipients are grouped into five autonomy levels (High, Upper-Medium, Medium, Lower-Medium, and Low). This approach allows us to provide greater challenges that strengthen the capabilities of those with higher autonomy, while also adapting our support to the specific needs of each participant in order to foster their development.
Our commitment to inclusion is reflected in our specialized teams and the comprehensive support provided through the BBVA Scholarships Program for Inspiring Young Boys and Girls with Disabilities, ensuring that every scholarship recipient can grow without barriers.
We determine financial support amounts by considering the household expenses reported by scholarship recipients’ families, identifying the economic burdens associated with each recipient’s disability, in order to ensure fair allocation that meaningfully improves their well-being.

Mentorship Program
This program invites the BBVA México community to participate on a voluntary basis by providing guidance and motivation to scholarship recipients in middle school and university. Its objective is to accompany students throughout their educational journey while strengthening their personal and professional development, preparing them for future workforce integration.
This year, we enhanced our mentor assignment model to ensure more effective and personalized support. Mentor matching is carried out based on three key factors to achieve the strongest possible alignment:
Note: During 2025, a pilot track of the program known as Inclusive Mentorship was implemented, involving 100 scholarship recipients with disabilities. These participants received support through an inclusive mentorship model and were paired with mentors who had excelled in previous mentorship evaluations, had training in inclusion-related topics, and actively sought participation in the program.
This process is reinforced through specialized programs and structured content that guide mentors, ensuring their support remains organized and measurable.
+17,000 young people benefited from the mentorship program, an initiative that also incorporated mentors with disabilities as part of our inclusive approach.
Our mentors, who are employees of Grupo BBVA México, are carefully selected based on performance evaluations and educational background. In addition, they receive training in mentorship techniques through specialized programs at Campus BBVA, ensuring effective and meaningful support.
In 2025, we began the second academic cycle integrating scholarship recipients from the BBVA Scholarships Program for Inspiring Young Boys and Girls with Disabilities. We implemented a new support model tailored to educational level, autonomy level, and type of disability, ensuring that each student receives the necessary support to advance academically while fostering their social and professional integration.
The program is structured into two modalities:
Central Area Mentors, focused on supporting scholarship recipients in their first or fourth year of university studies.
Commercial Network Mentors, based in branch offices, who work closely with scholarship recipients and guardians during their first year of middle school.
A total of 8,022 BBVA employees participated as mentors, contributing 15,315 volunteer hours.
| Modality | Mentors | Volunteer hours |
|---|---|---|
| Central Area | 5,062 | 13,824 |

Challenges Addressed
Although educational lag in Mexico decreased slightly in 2024 compared to 2022, dropping from 19.4% to 18.6% of the population8, significant gaps in access to education and the skills necessary for strong academic and socio-emotional performance remain. Additionally, according to the World Bank9, the pandemic caused an educational setback in Mexico equivalent to two years of schooling. This impact was clearly reflected in this year’s scholarship program call for applications. Before the pandemic, the average Mexican student achieved learning levels equivalent to the third year of middle school; today, that average has fallen to the equivalent of only the first year of middle school. These challenges continue to require sustained and collective efforts.

Supérate continues to advance and strengthen learning to support the development of more students.
Within Supérate, students have access to “Journey to University,” a dedicated space designed to support their academic preparation and transition into higher education. This resource, aimed at high school students, includes two primary tools:
1. Vocational interest assessments
Developed by Tecnológico de Monterrey.
Uses the Mexican classification system for academic fields of study as its framework.
A 96-question assessment that evaluates eight professional areas: administrative, artistic, experimental sciences, social sciences, engineering, manufacturing and construction, humanities, quantitative fields, and health sciences.
Objectives:
Identify the student’s area of greatest interest.
Determine the degree program of highest interest.
Recommend a personalized vocational pathway.
2. Vocational pathways
Professional areas: administrative, artistic, experimental sciences, social sciences, engineering, manufacturing and construction, humanities, quantitative fields, and health sciences.

Immediate feedback exam: evaluates knowledge while providing real-time learning opportunities.
Open practice exam: allows students to assess performance, identify areas for improvement, and receive study and review guidance.
Unlimited access to admission exam simulations.
Additionally, teachers have access to materials and courses designed to strengthen cross-functional competencies such as learning facilitation, assessment, and the use of technology. They are also provided with mirrored versions of student courses, allowing them to become familiar with the content being delivered. Furthermore, the platform offers educators specialized diagnostic tools that measure students’ levels in five essential skills: verbal reasoning, mathematical reasoning, and socio-emotional competencies, thereby enhancing their ability to provide effective support.
Supérate is a free and accessible tool available from any computer with an internet connection. Its implementation and maintenance, valued at more than MXN $4 million, are fully funded by Fundación BBVA.
We also strengthened our nationwide expansion by promoting the use of the Supérate platform with educational authorities in states such as Guerrero, Chihuahua, Baja California, Jalisco, Coahuila, and Nuevo León, advancing digital education across diverse regions of the country.

Challenges Addressed
In Mexico, primary education students from low-income families face limited educational opportunities and, in many cases, only have access to institutions with low academic and developmental quality. This situation contributes to the perpetuation of a cycle of educational exclusion that directly impacts vulnerable children.
How do we create impact?
Selection Process
To ensure equal opportunity, each applicant participating in the call for applications undergoes a socioeconomic assessment that identifies those living in vulnerable circumstances.
Among this group, eligible students are selected through a lottery-based drawing system, a mechanism that guarantees fairness and transparency in the allocation of available placements.
Through this process, the schools were populated with the following student enrollment by school and grade level:
Students by school and grade level
| Inspiring Young Boys and Girls Schools | First | Second | Third |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acolman | 60 | 60 | 60 |
| Veracruz | 60 | 60 | NA |
| Zumpango | 48 | 48 | 29 |
With the objective of strengthening community ties, we prioritized the enrollment of siblings of students already attending the schools, ensuring that families can continue their educational journey within the same environment.
Monitoring and Evaluation of the Inspiring Young Boys and Girls Schools
Tracking outcomes is a central component of the Inspiring Young Boys and Girls Schools model.
To accurately understand the experiences of students and their families, we implemented NPS across all three campuses. This tool allows us to evaluate satisfaction, family engagement, and various indicators related to the school environment.

Challenges Addressed
In Mexico, women, Indigenous populations, children, migrants, older adults, and people experiencing homelessness with incomes below the well-being threshold face significant barriers that limit their access to and continuity within the educational system, contributing to the country’s broader educational lag.
Through this program, we seek to become a driver of innovation within the social sector by advancing educational initiatives that are strengthened through the convergence of knowledge, methodologies, and experiences from diverse institutions.
We work to develop and strengthen social programs that share our conviction that education transforms lives and communities.
Our approach integrates the Foundation’s accumulated expertise with the best practices developed by external organizations. This combination allows us to expand our impact, create more effective solutions, and respond more creatively to the country’s educational challenges.

In response to the impact left by Hurricane Otis in Guerrero, Fundación BBVA México launched a comprehensive initiative to support the educational recovery of the most affected municipalities.
Beginning with an initial contribution of MXN $50 million, and thanks to the solidarity of partners, organizations, and citizens, resources were mobilized to rebuild learning spaces, strengthen teaching practices, and support thousands of students in their return to school.
Through the fundraising of MXN $116 million23, we generated direct and indirect impact for more than 57,000 people in 2024 and more than 30,300 people in 2025.
During 2025, we concluded Together for Education in Guerrero, consolidating the results achieved during the previous year. The program successfully fulfilled its objective of minimizing learning loss and ensuring educational continuity across seven affected municipalities. Students who completed the initial diagnostic assessment achieved an average score of 52 points, while those who completed the learning pathway reached 60.5 points, demonstrating significant improvement in their academic skills.
At the conclusion of the project’s operations, a remaining balance of MXN $13 million was recorded. These resources continued generating interest throughout 2025, making it possible to launch an additional high-impact initiative: an extra year of scholarship support was awarded to the highest-performing students in Supérate, equivalent to MXN $20,000 distributed over 10 months. This extension recognized participants’ exceptional effort while ensuring they could continue their educational journey without interruption.
Together for Guerrero leaves a legacy of reconstruction, learning, and educational continuity.
With this final stage, Together for Guerrero not only contributed to emergency response efforts, but also helped lay the foundation for long-term educational recovery, reaffirming BBVA México’s commitment to communities and to ensuring access to meaningful educational opportunities even after the immediate crisis had passed.
Equality,Diversity, and Inclusion
At Fundación BBVA México, we believe that true social transformation is only possible when all people are able to thrive in a dignified, safe, and inclusive environment.
Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) are not viewed as complementary priorities, but rather as guiding principles embedded throughout each of our initiatives and programs.
During 2025, our Managing Director served as President of Grupo BBVA México’s Diversity and Inclusion Council, a role that promotes the adoption of inclusive practices at an institutional level and advances a shared vision centered on equity, non-discrimination, and respect for all identities.
Through this Council, efforts are coordinated to raise awareness and combat bias throughout Grupo BBVA México, extending this commitment into our work as a Foundation. These efforts focus on key pillars related to gender, disability, LGBT+ diversity, and older adults. As a result, our workforce receives annual, accessible, and role-specific training that strengthens the EDI culture within the organization.
Highlighted training initiatives include:
Inclusion of employees with disabilities
Workforce inclusion programs for employees with disabilities within the Commercial Network
Diversity and Inclusion learning framework, which includes content such as:
• Goodbye to Micromachismo and Microaggressions
• Creating a Safe Space
• Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
• For Starters: Disability
Our commitment also extends beyond the organization. We aspire to help build a more equitable Mexico, which is why all our programs are designed to provide modern and accessible opportunities for individuals facing structural barriers.
This vision aligns with BBVA México’s diversity and inclusion policies, as well as with the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, an initiative we voluntarily support to strengthen our commitment to human rights, social justice, and sustainability.
Guided by these principles, our work directly contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on reducing inequalities and expanding pathways for historically excluded groups to access education and well-being.
Cultural and Linguistic Diversity
Linguistic and cultural diversity is a fundamental pillar that drives our work and reinforces our commitment to inclusion. Within the BBVA Scholarships Program for Inspiring Young Boys and Girls, we seek to strengthen support for students who are speakers of Indigenous languages, recognizing their identity as a valuable element of their educational journey.
To better understand their contexts and needs, we conducted a detailed data collection process that allowed us to identify participants who belong to Indigenous communities. This effort aims not only to reduce the structural inequalities they face, but also to expand social mobility opportunities for this population.
Our approach recognizes their heritage as a strength, promoting academic development while also encouraging the preservation of their knowledge systems and languages.
As a result of this work, 4,537 Inspiring Young Boys and Girls identify as Indigenous, reflecting the diversity that enriches our educational community.
