Success Stories
Winning an AFS Scholarship
During the summer of 2019, Paola P.—a student at The Palapa School in Todos Santos, participated in a study trip to Cairo, Egypt after winning an AFS (American Field Services) scholarship. She was the only 9th grade student accepted that year. The scholarship application was a result of a history class project at The Palapa School. Later, when entering 10th grade and motivated by teacher Ana Castillo, she applied to a Teach for All program called SLAC (Student Leader Advisory Council) for 2020. In February, Wendy Kopp, CEO and Founder of Teach for All, notified Paolo of her acceptance. Among student applicants from 135 countries this year, Paola was the only one selected from Mexico.
