In past weeks, readers here learned of 16 of the 45 local Mexican honors students who are competing for the 25 university scholarships Jovenes Adelante hopes to offer to university this fall. Here are more profiles of those hopeful students. Sponsorships cost about $4 USD/day over what typically is a five-year university career, four years plus an internship, and sponsorships are tax deductible in the US, Mexico and Canada.
While we cannot guarantee a certain student for a sponsor, all of our potential students want to make you proud by breaking the cycles of historic economic disparity into which they were born. Thanks for being in touch with me at [email protected] as president of Jovenes Adelante if you are interested in sponsorship. Our students have an 85-percent graduation rate – higher than in the US, Mexico, or Canada. Thank you!
