Providing educational benefits to the students of the East Cape Region
About the East Cape Guild Established in 1997, the East Cape Guild is a non-profit organization which provides educational benefits for the students of the East Cape region, from south of Caduano, El Triunfo in the west, and El Cardonal in the north.
The Mexican government provides free education only through the 9th grade. The costs then become the responsibility of the family. With the annual costs to attend high school approaching $500, many students are not able to continue. The students we fund must demonstrate financial need as well as academic achievement.
We have awarded nearly 680 scholarships since we began the program in 1998. Still, we can only fund a portion of the 125 to 150 applications we receive annually. It is discouraging to disappoint a student who has worked hard to maintain his or her grades.
We believe that education is one of the most valuable investments we can
make in these young people.
They are the future of our community!
