Preparing for the Journey: More than a Scholarship Application
The 2026 Selection Process Stages 1 and 2 are complete! Over 300 students have applied, (203 already in university seeking further support, 111 entering this year.) 
These applicants and many of their parents attending the Congress 3.0, for guidance in support in making or fulfilling one of the most important decisions of their lives. Based on initial review, the depth of the students’ video essays and the clarity of their college budgets demonstrate the seriousness, reflection, guidance, and preparation behind each application.
We are also preparing!


Jóvenes Adelante never selects a student without a confirmed financial commitment from a sponsor. While students are in the selection process, we work to secure the partnerships that will make their education possible.
There are different ways to support a student:

• Individual sponsorships (different levels)
• Shared or pooled sponsorships

Non-financial support includes applying to be a volunteer mentor or English tutor.

Preparation meets opportunity.
