35 years of Fundação Estudar
36 Our Donors and
Thirty-five years ago, Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles and Beto Sicupira committed to a single idea: nothing is more important to a country than talented people having access to opportunity. People who dream big, have courage, and work hard to make Brazil more than it is today. That is how Fundação Estudar was born.
42 Governance and Team
From our very first scholar to reaching the milestone of more than 1,000 Estudar Fellows in 2026, it is our network that gives meaning to who we are. These are stories that intersect, intertwine, and, together, drive Brazil one step forward.

These journeys are the very story of Fundação Estudar. Over the past year, more than 200 Fellows took part in selecting the new cohort, and a record number of Fellows donated so that others could have the same opportunity, reinforcing our value of giving back. Our chapters - our embassies in major cities around the world - continue to be led by the network itself, while the Annual Gathering was designed to recapture its original spirit as a place where community
comes together and grows stronger, much like Fundação Estudar’s first breakfasts in the 1990s. The compass pointing toward the future remains the same as in 1991: discovering and empowering talent. In particular, the hidden talent--the people who have never heard of Fundação Estudar. Once they join our network, we want to connect Fellows with the world’s best opportunities, with a more intentional focus on Asia and on building connections with global initiatives aligned with our goals. We will also continue expanding into sectors where Brazil can be even more relevant, as we did with the launch of Climate Fellows. We are deeply proud of the legacy we have built so far. But as a country, we know Brazil is still falling short of its potential--and that we need more from each and every one of you to move Brazil, together, to the place it deserves on the global stage. That is why, over the next 35 years, we will continue working to create opportunities for talented people to act big and keep transforming our nation.

Estudar Fellow
ANA CLARA MELLO COSTA AKRA
Rio de Janeiro UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA MBA and Masters in International Studies
Over four years, Matheus built and directed an educational preparatory system from scratch, enabling dozens of students from upstate Rio de Janeiro to gain university admissions. That success funded his move to São Paulo and his entry into USP’s most selective interdisciplinary honors program, where he organized cross-institutional research between USP, UNIFESP, and CNPEM to engineer a novel treatment targeting the world’s deadliest brain cancer.
Driven by a vision to connect unconventional leaders and ideas, Adriana built a standout track record during her years at FGV: class valedictorian (1st place), honor roll, student council representative, junior enterprise leader, and winner of both the Entrepreneurship Fair and the J&J Marketing Award. She left Ambev to embrace entrepreneurship, building ventures from the ground up and taking bold risks to forge her own path.
Ana is guided by the conviction that technology only matters when it solves problems at scale. This principle took her from the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro to Wharton’s MBA, via Colégio Militar, an Engineering degree at UFRJ, product roles at Nubank, and leadership in building Isaac’s revenue-guarantee product, helping scale the company to more than 3,000 clients and more than R$7 billion in tuition payments.

Discipline is the driving thread of her journey. Fernanda secured 1st place in the entrance exam for Computer Science at UFPel, the culmination of months of dedicated study. Later, she built a YouTube channel that, over four years, has provided free education to more than 200,000 computer science students across Brazil. She also earned Microsoft’s Most Valuable Professional distinction in 2025 in recognition of this impact, and today is part of Behring Founders.
From public school to Stanford, she turned every opportunity into a lasting commitment. Giselle’s path includes scholarships from ISMART and ProUni, legal-inclusion initiatives through Civics Educação, and, while still a junior lawyer with no prior experience, participation in a US$2.6 billion arbitration. In recognition of these achievements, she was selected as a Person of the Year Fellow by the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce in New York (BACC-NY). Looking ahead, she aspires to become an internationally recognized arbitrator.
Lucas multiplied every opportunity he received: at 17, he earned a full scholarship to Insper, graduated as the most engaged student in the institution’s history, and founded Instituto Four with zero seed capital, an NGO that grew fully self-sustaining under his leadership. Today, he applies this same vision as an executive leader at Tom Educação, a network operating 36 public schools in Paraná serving 20,000 students.
Relying on sheer resilience to pursue and achieve excellence in tennis, he reaped significant rewards: Marcelo is a Pan American Games champion, an Olympian, and holds five ATP Tour (Association of Tennis Professionals) titles at the highest level of men’s doubles. In addition, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, successfully balancing higher education with his career as a tour professional.

Gustavo turns knowledge into action by bridging worlds that rarely intersect: science and the public, fieldwork and public policy. Among his greatest milestones was directing communications for SOS Pantanal during the 2020 wildfires, a campaign that established the NGO as a national benchmark and funded the Brigadas Pantaneiras (Pantanal Brigades), the organization’s first major structural initiative.
From Brazil to Columbia University, Nicole graduated with honors in Applied Mathematics and Economics, defending a thesis on neurodegenerative diseases. She was part of the founding team at Enter, Latin America’s first AI unicorn backed by Sequoia and Founders Fund. Today, she is pursuing a Master’s in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, specializing in Machine Learning.

Rio de Janeiro JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY Masters of Arts in International Relations
José navigates the daily dichotomy between the outskirts of Rio and high-level policy dialogues with ambassadors, C-suite executives, and former government ministers. By age 24, he had authored 20 publications, including for T20 South Africa, reaching over 60,000 readers across the military, government, private sector, and academia. Within a single year, he rose to analyst at CEBRI, a premier Brazilian think tank, working on initiatives for the European Union, UNEP, and Brazil’s National Rare Earths Plan.
LUCA MORENO LOUZADA
São Paulo HARVARD UNIVERSITY Business Economics
Driven by a desire to test the limits of his academic and public impact, Luca ranked 1st in his Economics class at USP, receiving awards for best student and top thesis, which opened doors to MIT, Stanford, and admissions into the world’s top PhD programs. At Stanford, he co-authored a study on mobile phone bans in Rio de Janeiro schools that sparked nationwide public debate on Jornal Nacional.

The comfort zone was never a place Guilherme liked to stay. He pursued a career in soccer, completed a 75 km ultramarathon, and became the youngest analyst hired at both BTG Pactual and Advent International. At USP, his outstanding finance performance led to an invitation from a fintech, where he built a financial dictionary generating 300+ weekly visits that served as the launchpad for their B2C rollout. He is also the co-founder of a venture that currently impacts more than 50 students.

Samory views his journey like a film: full of plot twists, challenges, improbable victories, and realized dreams. His proudest academic milestone was earning his Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from Kent State University. In athletics, his crowning achievement was competing at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, finishing among the world’s top 16 in the long jump.
RONALDO FERNANDES PINHEIRO
Minas Gerais MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MBA
The first in his family to graduate from college, Ronaldo learned English from scratch while working at McKinsey and was admitted to MIT Sloan without a pre-existing support network. He attended university on a full ProUni scholarship and was recognized five times as an “Ibmec Star.” One of his most significant professional achievements was structuring the credit-portfolio-management area for one of the largest banks in the Americas while at McKinsey, generating more than US$100 million in financial impact.

If you can, help someone the way I’m helping you. Thirty-five years later, that promise continues to be fulfilled with every Fellow who gives back and repays the value of the scholarship they received.
