Rotary Club of Tulum District 4195 Indigenous Scholarship Initiative

We are reaching out from the Rotary Club of Tulum, Mexico, to seek your support for our Indigenous Scholarship Initiative, which aims to expand university scholarship opportunities for Indigenous high school graduates.

Our Commitment to Education

Our club is dedicated to increasing access to higher education for students in Tulum and neighboring Mayan communities. We are building a scholarship fund to help more deserving students attend university.

Challenges Facing Local Students

Only 24% of high school graduates enroll in university, with just 8% completing their degrees. Financial hardship and lack of mentorship are major barriers. Our initiative eases these burdens by providing scholarships and ongoing support to help students finish their studies and start their careers.

Our Impact So Far

Since awarding our first scholarships five years ago, all three recipients have graduated. Currently, we support ten students majoring in various fields such as languages, accounting, architecture, hotel administration, psychology, and nursing.

Scholarship Fund & Donations

Each student receives $4-5,000 USD per year, which helps but does not cover all expenses. This support includes tuition, food, and rent, especially for those studying away from home.

Donation Amount Support Provided

$400 USD One Month of Tuition & Living Expenses

$1,000 USD Six Months of Living Expenses

$3,000 USD One Year of Tuition

$5,000 USD. One Year of Tuition & Living Expenses

Your generous support will help us fund this program for at least three years. To donate to the Rotary Club of Tulum Indigenous Scholarship Initiative, please click below. Donations in USD.
