STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP DONATION

TRC offers a scholarship program for students in grades 7–11 at La Virgen High School, located in the local community adjacent to the Reserve.  This program gives many elementary students from low-income families who have shown a dedication to school the opportunity to continue their studies in high school.  Since the program was initiated in 2000 there has been overwhelming interest and rapid student growth.

YOU CAN HELP!

Many scholarships have been provided through the cooperation of U.S. schools that have been interested in helping low-income Costa Rican students excel.

With only $450 per year, you can provide a full scholarship to a high school student at the La Virgen School. 

The scholarship includes: 

  • Lunch for 200 school days
  • School uniforms
  • Notebooks and textbooks
  • Monthly stipend


Participate in our scholarship program and make a student’s future possible.
