La Catalina Educational Foundation Scholarships
|
We believe that improving educational opportunities is the key to achieving a more prosperous and stable future for the children of La Manzanilla. Many families in La Manzanilla cannot afford the books, uniforms, and school fees required to support their children's education, and consequently students are forced to drop out of school. LCEF offers scholarships at three levels in the educational system so that every student has an opportunity to achieve their goals. Please view the following links for more information and to learn how you can directly support the education of La Manzanilla students. LCEF accepts scholarship donations through Teachers Without Borders (which issues a US tax receipt) and PayPal. |
