The Student Sponsorship Program

Sponsored students are the hopes and dreams of their families and communities. The Student Sponsorship Program matches individuals who believe in our mission with students who need financial aid to continue their studies.

Students eligible for sponsorship have already been accepted into Mayatan Bilingual School and may already be attending. The school considers financial need, academic performance, and family situations in determining eligibility. We award as many scholarships as we can, and we work hard to match students with new sponsors.

When sponsors support one child’s future by contributing school fees, the Foundation is free to focus its resources on other areas of need.

How It Works

Sponsors pledge to contribute to a particular student at one of the following predefined levels:

Full Tuition:
PK/Kindergarten: $1,005
1-6 Primary: $1,215
7-9 Secondary: $1,670

Half-tuition:
PK/Kindergarten: $503
1-6 Primary: $608
7-9 Secondary: $835

Some sponsors choose to contribute more than tuition to cover a student's fees, transportation, meals, or other costs. Please contact Mayatan if you may be interested in this.

Sponsors may pay the entire amount of their pledge at the beginning of the school year, or they may make payments towards the pledge throughout the year (September to June).

Mayatan Foundation will keep the sponsor updated on the student's progress by sending grade reports, newsletters, and thank-you notes from the student. The minimum time commitment for sponsoring a child is one year, although many sponsors stay with the same student year after year, following the student's growth and progress throughout their education.

If sponsorship is not right for you at this time, you may always donate an amount that is comfortable for you. All donations to our general fund will go towards scholarships.
