We celebrate the first edition of the WMC Scholarship Program

At WMC, we believe that when we invest in education, we invest in the future—not just of individuals, but of families, communities, and the world we help build. That belief came to life with the successful launch of our Scholarship Program, a new initiative designed to support the children of our team members in their pursuit of higher education.

The first edition of the program celebrated the stories, achievements, and aspirations of exceptional young people. Each of them stood out for their academic performance, community involvement, personal drive, and alignment with WMC’s values. From future doctors and engineers to educators and biologists, these scholars share a powerful determination to make a positive impact.

Among the winners, we highlight the excellence of one of the young people who obtained an overall score of 1,500 on the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test). With a score of 760 in mathematics and 740 in reading and writing, who ranks among the top 1-2% nationally. These achievements set a high standard and reflect the talent that WMC is proud to support.

The Purpose Behind the Program

The WMC Scholarship Program is about more than providing financial aid—it’s about unlocking potential. By supporting the higher education of our employees’ children, we aim to:

• Promote access to quality education.
• Encourage academic excellence and personal growth.
• Strengthen family well-being through opportunity.
• Reinforce our values by recognizing effort, leadership, and community service.

This program reflects WMC’s belief in sustainable, people-centered growth. It aligns with our intention to support not only the dreams of our employees, but also those of their family members and the future leaders they are raising.

“There are moments as a leader that remind you why you do what you do. Meeting the students, hearing their stories, and seeing their parents speak with pride was incredibly moving. This program is about more than growth or performance—it’s about supporting our people, and now, their families too. That makes me proud of the kind of company we are. And I can tell you this: we’re just getting started.” Jordi Barrenechea, CEO, WMC
