Scholarships for Higher Education Rural Ensenada, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that gives deserving students an opportunity for a brighter future. We work with incredible students facing tough economic challenges that otherwise might be forced to drop out of school. For nearly three decades, we’ve been providing educational scholarships to outstanding high school and college students in the Maneadero and Punta Banda areas of Ensenada. Our program is not only for young scholars; we have also supported adults who are eager to further their education.

Welcome to our series spotlighting the remarkable achievements of scholarship students from the Punta Banda area! These students go above and beyond their academic pursuits, with many of them actively participating in a wide range of volunteer activities that not only enrich their own lives but also make a significant impact on the community. From attending English classes to participating in beach cleanups, delivering talks on pet care, and organizing spay and neuter clinics, these initiatives help our students develop valuable skills, leadership qualities, and a strong sense of community spirit.

Join us as we explore the inspiring journey of service and self-discovery embarked upon by our dedicated students!

English as a Second Language

Many of our students are actively involved in voluntary English classes, and for good reason! Learning English offers numerous benefits including opening doors to communicate with people from around the world in various contexts such as travel, business, and academia. Proficiency in English expands their job prospects especially as Ensenada is a tourist city, and businesses in general are being more global. Another huge benefit to learning English for these students is that it promotes self-confidence, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and personal growth, empowering students to embrace new experiences and challenges.

Scholarships for Higher Education Rural Ensenada, Inc., has supported over150 (can we check this? It seems very low for 30 years) students through their school years. This year we are supporting approximately 50 students with financial aid. While high school is free, there are still costs, such as uniforms, administrative fees, school supplies, and transportation, that students need to cover. That’s where our scholarships come in. We award deserving high school students $200 US dollars a year and university students $600 US dollars a year to cover tuition and other school-related expenses. As a volunteer-run operation, we aim to have all funds going straight to the students who need it most.
