Scholarships

The Scholarships program provides funds for school materials, uniforms, and books for needy children in Alto Trujillo and Mache — the basic supplies that determine whether a child can attend school at all.

For young adults, the Ministry provides financial support to students pursuing college and professional degrees in Nursing, Psychology, Law, Business Management, and Agriculture. Sister Immaculata and her advisors select each year a handful of worthy students who would not be able to continue their education without assistance.

Scholarship recipients are not passive beneficiaries — many serve as catechists in the parish, giving back to the community that lifted them up.

In all we have 21 students in college, eight of whom are funded by the Ministry of the Good Shepherd. Martin Romero finished as an Agricultural Engineer and is employed. Royler finished in Hotel Management and was hired immediately. Two just finished Technical Pharmacy. All students work as catechists in the parish — great help to me. — Sister Immaculata
