Maya Youth Scholarship
A scholarship at Na’atik is a life changing gift for local Indigenous students, offering access to opportunities that they would not otherwise have. Over 95% of our scholarship students go on to study at university.
This year we have 55 scholarship students that need sponsoring, and more on the waiting list. Scholarship students have all demonstrated their commitment to their studies but due to financial constraints have difficulty accessing classes
$600 USD covers a student for the full school year, giving them weekly classes, coursebooks, access to extracurricular activities, and use of our trilingual library including free book lending. It also helps us to provide an emergency fund to help students with temporary difficulties, ensuring that they are able to continue attending class.
As a sponsor you will receive updates on your students progress, with a letter at Christmas and a thank you at the end of year. We will also thank you in our newsletter at the end of the academic year.
Sponsor a Na’atik student this year!
“Studying English at Na’atik gave me so many opportunities. I was able to go to college and experience life outside of Felipe Carrillo Puerto. I came back to teach at Na’atik because I want more local children to have the same life changing education I was given.”
