Smart Students

Aury (left) and Julio (middle) are bright students in rural Guatemala, but desperately poor since their father died. LACF scholarships allow them both to attend high school, and have a chance at a better future.

Paty, Sylvia and Glendy all grew up in Guatemalan villages several hours from the nearest high school. LACF scholarships have allowed the trio to attend a city high school, covering the costs of their room, board, tuition, and required uniforms. A high school education will open many opportunities for these young women.
