At Fundación A. Jean Brugger, receiving a scholarship means more than earning financial support—it means making a commitment to give back.

Every scholarship recipient participates in our Community Service Program (PSSC), where students transform their knowledge into meaningful action by developing projects that improve the lives of others. This program is a cornerstone of our scholarship model, helping students grow not only academically but also as compassionate leaders committed to their communities.

Each year, our scholarship recipients design and lead 5 to 8 community initiatives focused on health, education, and environmental awareness. These projects directly benefit 200 to 250 children, youth, and adults across approximately 10 rural communities in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.

Past initiatives have included:

Health education for adolescent girls and mothers.
Medical counseling for people living with chronic illnesses.
Career guidance for high school students.
Reading and writing enrichment programs for children.
Environmental awareness and community development activities.

To make these initiatives possible, students need resources for transportation, meals, educational materials, and workshop supplies. Each project requires an annual budget of approximately $300–$500.

Your donation helps turn student ideas into real community impact—empowering the next generation of leaders while improving the lives of hundreds of families every year.
