Roberto Hasbun is the founder of Avanza Education, where he has mentored 500+ students to strategically position themselves for top global universities. As a Honduran student navigating the highly competitive U.S. admissions system without insider guidance, Roberto experienced firsthand how complex and inequitable the process can be.
Through a highly intentional and strategic approach, he earned admission to Princeton University for undergraduate studies, where he completed his Bachelor of Arts in History, while securing over $400,000 in scholarships and financial aid. He later pursued a Master's in Management at Cornell University with a $35,000 merit scholarship.
After working in energy consulting, Roberto founded Avanza to provide what most high-achieving students lack: a structured, strategic, and personalized approach to the college admissions process. His mission is to empower the next generation of students to get into top universities worldwide.
