SINCE 2001, WE HAVE SENT OVER 200 STUDENTS TO HIGH SCHOOL AND 100 TO COLLEGE. MANY OF OUR PARTICIPANTS HAVE GONE ON TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE AND PURSUE PROFESSIONAL CAREERS.THE ASLA FOUNDATION WAS CREATED IN ORDER TO HELP CHILDREN WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NOT ATTEND SCHOOL PAST THE 6TH GRADE, CONTINUE ONTO HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE. WE FIND DONORS IN THE UNITED STATES TO SPONSOR A STUDENT FROM START TO FINISH OF HIGH SCHOOL. THE TOTAL COST VARIES FROM $175-$350 A YEAR TO SEND A YOUTH TO SCHOOL. THE MONEY COVERS MATRICULATION, UNIFORMS, TRANSPORTATION, BOOKS, AND FOOD. THE DONORS HAVE AN OPTION TO EXCHANGE LETTERS THROUGHOUT THE EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR STUDENT, CREATING A VIVID CULTURAL LINK AS WELL AS A ONCE-IMPOSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO DESERVING CHILDREN WHO WANT TO BE ABLE TO FIND A JOB ONCE THEY'VE GRADUATED, READ AND WRITE WELL, AND MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO HELP THEIR FAMILIES.THE SANTA TERESA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM HAS GROWN IMMENSELY FROM OUR FIRST YEAR, WHEN WE RECEIVED 20 APPLICATIONS FROM LOCAL CHILDREN. WE RECEIVE AROUND 75 NEW APPLICATIONS EACH YEAR, AND CONTINUE TO SPONSOR EACH CHILD FOR ALL FIVE YEARS OF THEIR HIGH SCHOOL STUDIES AND ON TO COLLEGE. AS A CONDITION OF THE SCHOLARSHIP, THE AWARDEES ARE OBLIGATED TO DO 10 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE EACH SEMESTER, IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS THROUGH EVERYTHING FROM REFORESTATION TO TUTORING. THE FOUNDATION AND SUPPORTERS ARE SO PROUD OF THE POSITIVE EFFECTS THIS PROJECT HAS HAD IN NICARAGUA.$0$51,600
