“Support first generation college students”

We are so excited to announce our group of graduates, the class of 2022.

This class, which is made up of 10 students, is the sencond group to graduate directly from the Esperanza Juvenil High School and is full of first-generation college students.

#EJHeroesOfHope

Each graduate has made sacrifices to get where they are today. They have dedicated 11 months of each year to education. Because our students come from 17 different states in Guatemala, they must make the decision to leave their families and reside at Esperanza Juvenil. At very young ages, the scholars choose to make these sacrifices in hopes that they will be able to create a better and brighter future for their families.

For years, they have watched our previous graduates enroll in and graduate from universities. The class of 2022 has hope that they will have the same opportunities. Now, it’s time to make their dreams come true.

Durante años, estos graduandos han visto a nuestros otros estudiantes inscribirse y graduarse de distintas universidades. Nuestro programa tiene ya 32 estudiantes universitarios y 10 graduados profesionales. ¡Con este nuevo grupo el total de universitarios serán 55!

With that being said, the 10 graduates of Esperanza Juvenil need your help now more than ever so they may have the opportunity to pursue college careers that they have worked towards for so long.

Each of the 10 students needs $1,200 to cover entrance exam costs, academic preparation costs, as well as enrollment costs. This is the first step for them to enter universities and overcome adversity.

Este es el primer paso para que ingresen a las universidades. Una donación, de cualquier monto, ayudará a estos graduados a tener éxito, y también inspirará e infundirá esperanza en nuestros estudiantes más pequeños que tienen los mismos sueños de ir a la universidad. ¡Súmate a hacer esta diferencia!

BE THE FIRST AND DONATE NOW!

Our University Program

 

We have a university program that supports all students at this academic level. All students receive financial support to cover part of their college tuition, books, and supplies. They are also advised on how to apply for university scholarships and find employment, to cover the other part of their university expenses, and to get on track in their professional lives. Regular personalized follow-up is provided to each student, from their entrance to the university until graduation.

Our Collegians attend some of the finest colleges and universities.
