This program has impacted the social paradigm: Students now realize that it is better to continue with their studies rather than moving immediately from middle school into work.

Often, children who graduate from elementary school begin to think about what middle school they will attend. Young people who finish middle school have much less of a chance of dropping out if they anticipate a high school education. High school graduates are not looking for a factory to work in, but rather for the profession they want to study in college. University graduates can now aspire to a master’s degree or a doctorate, which improves their own communities and contributes to larger structures of society.

 The young people who have graduated through the Scholarship program have been able to provide their services to the community through our other programs: Psychology, Health, and Legal Assistance. Additionally, there have been business projects driven by young scholarship recipients. Among the list of graduates of this period is Aaron Lopez. Before graduating from the Psychology program, he conducted a Bereavement Workshop for the community; helping people heal from the loss of their loved ones.
