Secondary Scholarships

Project Esperanza is dedicated to providing continuing education and opportunities for our students.

We proudly offer scholarships to select graduates of our elementary education program, enabling them to pursue their studies beyond 6th grade. Our top-performing students, who are at or near the appropriate age for their grade level, receive scholarships to attend a few different schools in the area. We entered into a partnership with one of these schools during the pandemic when we fundraised to help them purchase a permanent location and took on their afternoon English program.  

We are committed to expanding this program, and now are able to provide some students with the opportunity to earn a US diploma in addition to their Dominican diploma. Additionally, we include support for post-secondary education at local and virtual universities when possible, further empowering our students for a brighter future. Studying at the university level in the Dominican Republic has been increasingly difficult for our students due to new restrictions the government has placed on students born in the country to parents who were not legal residents. Therefore, virtual opportunities have become vital at this time.

These students are also sponsored through our sponsorship platform, with many sponsors having multi-year relationships with students they have supported on the journey from elementary school to graduation. To help sponsor a secondary scholarship search for “CMS Scholarships” on our sponsorship platform.
