Last year was a difficult year for Nicaragua students with the political situation in the country and the continuation of Covid. But students persevered, and the end of the 2021 school year (which ended in December) saw 17 graduates! Nine students graduated from high school and ALL of them have gone on to college. Eight graduated from college with their degrees in Nursing, Public Accounting & Finance, Psychology, English, Dentistry, Physics, and Bioanalysis! Nola reports that several have jobs, one in the mayor’s office, another at a university in Managua. One student had a baby recently and is staying home for the time being, and two have left for the US to look for jobs.
The new school year began in February in Nicaragua. Here are a few stats for this 2022 school year:
Total Scholarships Provided in 2022: 142
New Scholarship Students: 45
Returning Scholarship Students: 97
Students attending College: 65
Students attending High School: 77

Thanks to all sponsors for your continuing support. Students and their families are extremely grateful for the schooling you help to provide.
