Sponsor a Student!

Sponsoring a student is a great way to get involved with Austin Helps Honduras. We update our list of students awaiting sponsorships each year so you can choose from a middle schooler, high schooler, or post-secondary student studying in a vocational training program or at a local college. The Honduras school year runs from February through November; costs below are for one academic year.

Scholarship donors receive quarterly updates from AHH on their student’s academic progress, as well as personal letters from their sponsored student.

When I signed up to be a sponsor, I didn't expect to have such a meaningful connection with the students but it's really nice. I love seeing their pictures and hearing about their interests in school and life. It's like having a pen pal again but with the added joy of knowing that I'm helping them to reach their goals.
