scholarship ALUMNI: JOAQUÍN LORDA
May the professor's " bequest " live on through new generations of students
For Joaquín Lorda, learning was a way of life. And teaching was a way to share with others everything he was passionate about.
The Joaquín Lorda Alumni “scholarship ” was established to honor his “ bequest ” and ensure that his generosity continues to bear fruit. This initiative transforms his legacy into new opportunities, offering future generations of students the chance to learn, grow, and receive an education at the school he loved so dearly.
Whether you’re a former student, business, a foundation, or a friend of the School, we invite you to be part of this bequest. With your contribution, you’ll help new students gain access to a high-quality training and have a transformative college experience. Every contribution is an opportunity to carry on the spirit of Joaquín Lorda and invest in the talent of those who are called to design and build the future.
PROFESSOR LORDA, GENIUS AND TEACHER
01
HUMANIST
Those who knew him remember him as an extraordinarily cultured, creative, enthusiastic, and, above all, generous man. A humanist with a passion for beauty, art, and knowledge.
02
COLLECTOR AND AVID READER
A great collector of all kinds of objects subject , an exceptional artist, and a voracious reader: he bought books, studied them, gave them to his students, and donated them to the library. His dream was to pave the way for others.
03
A TEACHER BEYOND THE classroom
He had a gift for sparking curiosity and captivating his students. He would arrive at the school alone and soon find himself surrounded by students, enthralled by his stories. Those who shared conversations and journeys with him remember a teacher who left his mark far beyond the classroom.
04
HE SET THE STANDARD
A genius, a professor, and, above all, a mentor. Joaquín didn’t just teach architecture—he shaped the school. His dedication, which extended far beyond the classroom, left an indelible mark on generations of architects.
PROGRAM FOR Alumni Scholarships
"No talented person should be prevented from attending college for financial reasons."
The goal of the Alumni Scholarships is a response to this aspiration of St. Josemaría Escrivá.
The “ Alumni Scholarships ” are a program of financial aid provided by the University of Navarra to fund the “ programs of study ” ( Degree). It is intended for students with excellent academic transcript and aptitude who would otherwise be unable to study here.
It is financed thanks to the contribution of companies, friends of the University, alumni and other people and institutions that believe in the work of the University of Navarra in the training of people and the improvement of society.

scholarship , FOREVER: scholarship ALUMNI PERPETUA JOAQUÍN LORDA
A perpetual scholarship is one of the most important ways to refund to society what it has contributed and to do so in a sustainable manner over time so that the footprint generated is projected permanently into the future.
When the student scholarship recipient completes his or her programs of study, the scholarship automatically passes to another student. It is the interest that goes to the scholarship while the initial amount contributed to the Fund remains. This ensures the permanent footprint of the contribution, both because of the positive impact of the current scholarship recipients, and because it allows for recurrent funding of new beneficiaries.
