Congratulations 2022-2023 Scholarship Students

Felicitaciones estudiantes becados 2022-2023

Congratulations to our exceptional students who are finishing another year of their education.

At Scholarships for Higher Education (S4HE), we are honored to have the opportunity to support these deserving individuals on their educational journey. Our scholarship program aims to provide financial assistance to exceptional students who demonstrate remarkable potential and determination.

Sponsorship Options:  Creating opportunities for deserving students to access quality education is a collective effort. S4HE offers various sponsorship options that allow individuals, organizations, and businesses to contribute to our mission. Here are multiple opportunities to help support these outstanding students:

  1. Full Sponsorship: With full sponsorship ($200/year for high school students, and $600/year for college-level students), you can support one or more specific students throughout their academic journey. Your sponsorship directly impacts the lives of these exceptional individuals, enabling them to focus on their studies and achieve their goals.
  2. Shared Sponsorship: Sharing sponsorship with family and/or friends allows you to join and participate in the program with a lesser financial commitment.
  3. Donation to the General Fund: If you prefer to contribute to the overall cause of S4HE, you can donate to our General Fund. Every contribution, whether one-time or monthly payments, helps us provide scholarships, support student programs, and expand our reach to help more students in need.

Student Requirements and Selection Process: To receive a scholarship from S4HE, students must showcase their commitment to academic excellence and personal growth. These requirements include maintaining a 9.0 out of 10.0 average over the previous school year and sustaining a minimum grade average of 8.5 while in the program and receiving assistance. These high standards ensure that our scholarships are awarded to students who consistently demonstrate exceptional dedication and achievement.

In addition to high academic standards, students must demonstrate financial need.  Many of these students come from families where the parents work six days in the fields, often with monthly salaries around $200 – $250.  Most families have multiple children, and often our older students have to help out with childcare.  There are many challenges for these families including very poor living conditions (no running water, no electricity, and no access to the Internet).  These students and their parents, with your help, overcome many hurdles that most of us don’t even think about. In their application process, students must write a letter that outlines dreams for the future and are interviewed by two or more committee members.

Making a Lasting Impact: Your support can help empower these students to reach their full potential and become leaders in their communities. Here’s how you can get involved:

  1. Visit our website S4HE.org to learn more about our scholarship recipients, their inspiring stories, and the impact your support can make.
  2. Explore the sponsorship options and choose the one that aligns with your interests and capacity to contribute. Whether it’s providing full sponsorship, participating in shared sponsorship, or donating to the General Fund, your generosity will transform lives.
  3. Share our mission with your friends, family, and networks. Spread the word about S4HE’s work and the opportunities available for individuals and organizations to support exceptional students in their educational pursuits.

At Becas para la Educación Superior (S4HE), we are dedicated to empowering exceptional students by breaking down financial barriers to education. By maintaining high standards, conducting thorough selection processes, and offering various sponsorship options, we ensure that our scholarships go to students who exemplify outstanding academic achievement and potential. Together, let’s create a future where every deserving student has access to quality education and the opportunity to thrive. Join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of these exceptional individuals.

Meet Gerardo

Conoce a Gerardo

Introducing Gerardo, one of our exceptional students who is making great strides in his coursework and striving to create a brighter future for himself and his family. Urgent! Gerardo is in need of a permanent sponsor. Your support can make a significant difference in his life. Kindly consider lending a helping hand. Check out the details below.

What are you studying and why did you choose that profession?

I am studying Gastronomy. I chose it because I have always been interested in cooking since I was a child, I like to experiment with flavors and smells and see it as an art.

How has school changed your life?

The school has given me new objectives, points of view, and aspirations; in the case of the university, it has also given me the opportunity to socialize more and demand more of myself in academic matters.

What are your dreams or goals?

Finish my degree acquiring the greatest amount of knowledge and skills possible to be able to start my own food establishment.

Tell us something about you and your family.

I am a person in constant change who always seeks to improve or implement something new in life, and my family are the ones who have always supported me in what I decide to do in life, they are one of the few people I know I can trust.

Why are you thankful?

I am very grateful to my family for always supporting me and accepting my decisions despite the fact that they do not always seem right, to Mrs. Norma Hurtado for presenting me with the opportunity to finish my studies, to Scholarships for Higher Education for giving me the support to make it possible and finally with me, for not giving up and giving the opportunity to study once again despite the time I was away from the academic field.

Student & Sponsor

When you sponsor a student you can meet them at some of the events and learn about them, watch them grow, and celebrate their continued success.

When you sponsor a student, you can get such a return. Scholarships for Higher Education holds an annual end-of-summer barbeque where students and sponsors can meet each other and learn about one another. It is such an honor to watch the smile grow on your student’s face as they discover more about you. In turn, you get to see them grow and mature. You find out more about their life goals and how you are helping them to achieve their dreams which may not have been available to them otherwise. 

The current semesters are soon ending, we have more students hoping to continue their educational dreams. You can help! Plan to donate or sponsor a student now.

 

Meeting our sponsee

Conociendo a nuestro ahijado

My husband and I contributed a small amount to Elizeth’s education. Meeting her at the meet and greet event was a really nice experience. Not only did we get to see many of the bright students with their families who are recipients of the scholarship program, but we also got to meet Elizeth! Her big warm smile and sincere appreciation filled my heart. I feel like such a small amount of money towards her high school tuition will make a big difference in the opportunities that come her way after she has completed her education. Working with the people who run Becas para la Educación Superior are great and donating was a piece of cake!

Scholarships Presentation Day

Jornada de presentación de becas

A momentous day presenting our local students with their becas (scholarships) for the start of the 2021-2022 school year. These students all qualify with exceptional grades and financial needs. At this time, we have 41 great students, most pictured here with many of the sponsors in attendance. These exceptional students must maintain a 9.0 (out of 10) grade point average.

While more students are being sponsored than ever before, we have many more students waiting. Without help, they may need to drop out of school giving up on their dreams. They will need to join the workforce. Care to make a real difference in someone’s life – think about becoming a sponsor or make a one-time donation now. Every bit helps!
