(1792-1840), Vice-President of the Republic of Colombia (1821-1827) and 
President of the Republic of the New Granada (1832-1837).
The flag of the 
institute was adopted in March 2003 by the Board of Directors among the 
proposals submitted in a contest. The flag has in the upper left corner a yellow 
sun meaning that the light of knowledge enlightens us and transcends our lives. 
Two red lines issuant from the sun delimit three stripes. Red is a symbol of 
joy, friendship and love. The upper stripe is gray, a symbol of knowledge. The 
middle stripe is white. The lower stripe is blue, a symbol of faith, virtue, and 
spirit of fighting and surpassing. The letters "FPS" are placed in the lower 
fly, meaning "Francisco de Paula Santander" and "Formación" (Education) with "Proyección 
Social" (Social Projection).
