Using ICT to improve access to information and communication

The scholarship service is intended to comprehensively intervene in the education of our members by providing them with an amount of money every month.

The scholarships cover secondary, tertiary and university levels, and are awarded through contests.

Until 2016, scholarship applications were submitted through an internal system of the Mutual (SIGIA) and the required paper documentation was sent by mail from the Mutual Association for the Protection of the Family’s (Asociación Mutual de Protección Familiar – AMPF) 65 branches and offices to the headquarters in Buenos Aires.

In 2017, we implemented a new system (SIAM) which is interactive, flexible and offers easy viewing of information. At the same time, we have digitized the documentation to speed up the process, and to promote respect for the environment.

The implementation of these improvement initiatives shows that they were successful because they generated the desired impact.
