Meet new Scholarship student Marlene

5/7/2023

Marlene’s self introduction: 
“I am a single mother of two children and my chances of paying for a university degree in law are currently impossible. I do not want to abandon my dreams. My only livelihood at the moment is the profits generated by my sales of various items on Facebook. I have had difficult times and I know that my opportunities would increase if I had a better academic education. It is a dream to have a law degree in my hands but it is also a necessity to have good employment and to be able to provide a better quality of life for my two children. Now, they are the engine of my life and they drive me every day to look for new and better opportunities.


I have taken a first aid course and a workshop in sign language and braille. I really like to learn as much as possible. From experience I know that the more you know, the more opportunities you will have in life.
My goal is to get a university degree in law. I want to be someone who vulnerable people can come to without worrying about the cost of legal services. Often people do not receive the legal advice they deserve. 
I want to have a full life. I am willing to put in the best effort and get the best grades. I know I can achieve it! My life has not been easy alone with two children and it is time for my life to take better directions. 
Thank you all for taking the time to learn a little about my story.” ​


Joelle, Marlene and Mark. Mark is Team Marlene’s  Captain.

​What exactly are we raising funds for?

2/21/2023

Although our students each have a team of sponsors who contribute monthly to fund their education​ we have a few who are in need of additional sponsors.
​
Our ‘General Fund’ (salute!!) fills in the gaps for this and it also covers graduation expenses, titles and licensing for the graduates, extra school supplies, field trips and laptops.

Building Student & Sponsor Relationships

​Student sponsors Sheryl and Steve met graduates Diana and Paloma, and students Angel and Caro joined with some family members for dinner on Isla. Maggie one of the Scholarship’s administrators coordinated the get together. The sponsors of the Isla Mujeres Scholarship Program help our students to reach their dreams. 💝

Sheryl posted this:
“Those who know us know how much we love Isla Mujeres, Mexico. What you might not know is that for the past five years, we have partnered with Isla Mujeres Scholarship Program to help students get a college education. Tonight we were blessed to get together with four students (past and present) and their parents to celebrate their accomplishments. What an honor and a privilege it is! These students have persevered through extraordinary circumstances. We are so proud of them and our hearts are full!
This is one of the many things that set this program apart - Relationships!”

Isla Mujeres Scholarship Program’s General Fund

12/2/2022

Happy December!

Although our students each have a team of sponsors who contribute monthly to fund their education, we have a few who are in need of additional sponsors. We also have a few students that we only send funds to on the semester to pay their tuition.
If you are unable to commit to a monthly sponsorship we do accept one time payments which go to the Isla Mujeres Scholarship Program’s “General Fund”. The general fund fills in the gaps for this and it also covers graduation expenses, titles and licensing for the graduates, extra school supplies, field trips and laptops. 

To make a one time donation to the scholarship program please go to the homepage and click on the Make a Donation button.

Jana, Maggie and I  and our students Thank You  for your help.❤️
