Great news – at the end of the 2024 school year in December, 25 Asla-supported students graduated from high school and college! Sixteen students graduated from high school and all but one of them have gone on to college. Nine graduated from college with their degrees in Engineering, Radiology, Accounting, Veterinary Medicine, Physical Education,, and Teaching. Nola reports that most are looking for jobs, one is working as an instructor at an education center, and another in administration at a factory. A few of our students left the program this year, most to emigrate; others left to work so they can help their parents feed their families.
The 2025 school year has just begun in February, and we’re happy to report the following:
Total Scholarships Provided in 2025: 168
New Scholarship Students: 24
Returning Scholarship Students: 144
Students attending College: 89
Students attending High School: 79
Money raised this year so far: $54,400 – Our costs for scholarships this year is $55,830, so we are very close to meeting our goal!We’re working to raise this difference.
Thanks to everyone for your support of our Nicaragua scholarship students!
