The class of 31 girls that the Royal Resorts Foundation is able to sponsor, thanks to your generosity, has started the new school year at Colegio Mano Amiga. Now in fourth grade, they are all eager to begin their studies.
In addition to our Colegio Mano Amiga students, the nine university students who are now receiving grants as a result of the 2019 Royal Resorts Foundation Race also return to college this month.
The Royal Resorts Foundation teamed up with Fundacion Lomas, its 2019 race partner, to sponsor these students by covering their monthly tuition fees. They also receive a scholarship to help with living expenses, bus tickets and are entitled to use the student café at their university.
Here’s a look at our nine students as they follow their dreams. We are sure that you will want to wish them good luck and every success in their studies this year.
