October 2026 Scholarship Program Update

By Hannah Provost | Board Member

Hello Scholarship program supporters!

As always, thank you for the support you bring to our mission of educating the future of El Salvador. Excitingly, the students of San Jose Villanueva are finishing up the school year this week! Twenty-one of the high school students in our scholarship program are graduating. Fourteen are graduating from the 3-year high school program, and seven are graduating from the 2-year technical program. We are excited for them on their next stage of their journey in education, and life.

We often focus on addressing the needs of new potential scholarship students when we communicate about the scholarship program—there are more and more students every year who could benefit from this support. But in this moment, we are happy to celebrate what this program is all about: ensuring every student, no matter their economic circumstances, has the opportunity to learn and grow, and take those learnings into their bright futures. These students graduating, and another year of school completed for all the others, is a meaningful moment to reflect on what this program is all about: hope, building skills and capacity, and building self-trust within these students, so that they can move forward in their life with all the assets at their disposal that every student deserves.

Again, as we noted in our previous report, this 2026 school year, Epilogos was able to support 164 scholarships, from elementary to college. In addition, our programming supported 2 trained special education teachers, and 1 school administrator in the high school, to ensure that the schools have the infrastructure to meet the needs of the students who are seeking an education.

Finally, we're excited to share that this year, for the first time, we had 9 high school students from La Lima, a cantone over an hour walk away from school. This area has been inaccessible for years, but after some troubleshooting and solving for the long commute, we are happy these nine students now have the opportunity to take advantage of furthering their education.

The pictures depict elementary students doing a traditional Salvadoran dance, special education students ready for a school-wide event celebrating the environment, and a group of our elementary scholarship students.

Thank you for your support—we hope you can continue to drive the impact of Epilogos programs.

Your generosity is shaping a student's life!

March 2026 Scholarship Program Update

Thank you for your support and interest in Epilogos' scholarship program!

For this update, we'll be sharing about the special education program—a subsection of our scholarship program that is near and dear to our hearts. In 2026, 21 special needs students are receiving scholarships to attend school, and our program also supports the salary of one full-time and specially trained teacher.

Epilogos started this special education program at the Complejo Educativo school in San Jose Villanueva in 2019, when we began to recognize that several students needed more structure and specialized support for their learning, and even more childen in the community were not attending school at all because the schools couldn't support them in regular classroom settings.

Over the years, this program has grown and evolved, always focusing on supporting the growth and learning of the students.

This year, the students needed to move into a new classroom. Parents and our staff completely redecorated a new room for the class, including new chairs and tables which were provided with the proceeds from a specific fundraiser.

Additionally, last week Epilogos hosted a workshop for all of the teachers at the Complejo to inform them about neurodiversity and the different methods of teaching these students, as an ongoing effort to strengthen resources that will hopefully integrate the students into typical classes when possible.

As we stregthen this program with more teacher support, nuerodiversity workshops for all of the school's teachers, and offering more scholarships, we rely on generous donors like you who believe that everyone deserves an education.

Thank you for your support—we hope you can continue to drive the impact of Epilogos programs.

Your generosity is shaping a student's life!
