Scholarship Programs

The foundation offers about $30,000 in boarding school, high school, and college scholarships.

INTERNADO

Four young women in 2023 go to a boarding school, the Colegio Dominicanas de la Anunciata in Chichicastenango, a Mayan cultural center, and live in an adjoining dormitory called the "Internado." 

The cost is about $1000 per student.

Instituto

Sixty scholarship recipients in 2023 attend high school in San Andres or other small communities in Quiche or in Santa Cruz del Quiche, the departmental capital, including Instituto Normal Mixto San Andres, Colegio Utatlan, Normal Bilingue Intercultural K'iche, ITEC and other schools.    

Scholarships range from $270 to $400 per year.

Universidad

Three of our most able high school graduates in 2023 attend the national university, University San Carlos. The University is tuition free to those who pass a rigorous entrance exam. Our scholarship helps defray the many ancillary expenses and totals $550 per year.

The Foundation also partners with a small US non-profit working in Chajul, Quiche, Guatemala called Limitless Horizons Ixil to provide 6 University scholarships to young indigenous people working in their programs. The cost per scholarship is $800.
