In Nicaragua, school is only mandatory until age 11, meaning a high school education is a luxury many children can not afford. Most students end up stopping their schooling after the 6th grade due to lack of resources and funding. To help these children lead successful lives, Building New Hope provides scholarships for motivated students to attend high school and receive a quality education.
Join us today in helping these children achieve educational success!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
How is sponsorship money used?In order for the money to be used effectively for the benefit of the students, the money donated by the sponsors is pooled in a collective fund. This allows us to not only provide for your specific sponsored child, but to help all children as a whole, even those who may not have a sponsor.
-
What does each sponsored child receive?With a monthly sponsorship of $ 35, each sponsored child will receive a school scholarship that covers the cost of matriculation to school along with tuition, a backpack with school supplies, a uniform, and transportation. (This is broken down into a monthly fee for monthly donors.) If your sponsorship is a one-time donation, you can choose to donate $ 269 for the cost of matriculation and tuition, or $ 35 for a backpack with school supplies or $ 30 for a uniform.
-
Can I check on my sponsored student's progress at school?As a sponsor, you will receive an annual update that indicates your student's participation and progress in school. These are provided only as progress updates to demonstrate the student's continued participation in school. They are not intended for sponsors to assess their students' weaknesses or areas that need improvement. It is of the utmost importance that these students are encouraged to continue to achieve in their classes!
