Laurita's University Scholarship

Laurita, a bright 22 year old, who graduated from high school at EEESMA last year, has enrolled in a Bachelors Degree in Education on-line program. The program began June 1st, 2020 and runs for 2 years 8 months, after which she plans a career teaching deaf education at EEESMA, giving back to others who are Deaf the gift of education she has been given. She will receive additional tutoring at the school but also needs support from a Spanish to Mexican Sign Language translator. The total cost of her tuition and the translator will amount to approximately US$12,000. We hope you can help Laurita achieve her dream of becoming a teacher.

Community Outreach

Help us reach out to other Deaf youngsters and their families, most of whom are low income, and to assist them with transportation costs so that those living a distance away can attend EEESMA. Many cannot afford the bus fare. Your donation will help us reach many more children.

The meaning of life is to find your gift.
