It only costs $1200 a year to allow a student to attend college.
This includes tuition, books, transportation costs, and a living stipend.
We are currently sponsoring 13 students to receive a life changing college education. We are looking for more families/individuals to sponsor a student for the year. The student will then consistently update the family on their academic and personal progress through the year.
In speaking to a group students in their last year of high school in Chiltiupan, El Salvador two truths become clear. First, they all have big hopes for their lives. Each student describes a dream for their future, which could be anything from becoming a doctor to a teacher. Then, the second truth becomes evident. Each student follows the description of their potential profession by saying they can not afford college, so they will not be able to achieve their dream. Over the past several years individuals from Cleveland (including many from St. Dominic) have donated money to sponsor students, giving them an opportunity to attend college. We would like to extend this program to give more students an opportunity. Attending college helps their professional possibilities and also helps them to grow as a person in many different ways. It truly changes their life in many ways that they can not even imagine.
For more information about the program, about the students that you could sponsor, and how you can become involved.
