SCHOLARSHIP OVERVIEW
In Mexico, public education is provided through middle school; however, students and their families are responsible for covering the costs of high school and university education, whether attending public or private institutions. Due to the financial challenges faced by many families in Sonora, numerous students are unable to continue their education after middle school and are often forced to leave school to help support their families.
Through the Words of Hope Scholarship Program, students are given the opportunity to continue their education and pursue a brighter future through high school and university studies.
You can sponsor a high school student for $440 USD per year or a university student for $880 USD per year. Your donation helps cover tuition costs, school uniforms, and essential school supplies.
By investing in education, you are helping create opportunities and hope for the next generation.
IMPACT OF SCHOLARSHIP
When a student is sponsored we believe they will have better opportunities after school and into their adult life. More importantly we hold the conviction that when a child knows they are being supported and encouraged to continue learning, it gives them the opportunity to actually dream for a better life and develop the drive to study and develop themselves professionally.
WHILE IN THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
We hold it of high importance to maintain active relationships with the students being sponsored. While in the program students have regular meetings with members of our team to discuss how they are doing in school, in their personal lives, and what they need help with. Our team also does home and school visits to meet families and teachers. Each student that is accepted for scholarship signs an agreement with requirements they abide by in order to maintain scholarship. They also serve at the community center for 8 hours each month.
