2023 will be the 17th year of our scholarship program in collaboration with the Maya Educational Foundation.

Our goals are to assist the youth of Cajola to prepare for a professional career that allows them to work for the development of the community. We require students to attend monthly meetings where we can guide them on their scholastic achievements, where they can learn about career opportunities, the history of Guatemala, or current events in Guatemala. We also require 2 hours per month of volunteer service in one of our projects, hopefully related to the field they are studying.

To date 10 students have received bachelor's degrees, 12 have received associates degrees, 12 have graduated from secondary school/diversificado, and 17 have completed middle school.

Our program for 2023 is seeking funding for 26 students.

2 middle school students $260/year each

6 secondary/diversificado students $390/year each

14 students for part time university $585/year each

2 students for full time university $845/year each

2 students working on their masters $1040/year each

​

We are pleased to receive funding for the Joe Sarti Scholarship, organized by his family to recognize his commitment to Guatemala and education. The $2000 will be awarded to 4 part time university students pursuing pedagogy

 

Our total budget for 2023 is $14,805.
