The Guatemala Friends Scholarship Program -PROGRESA
PROGRESA
It is a non-profit organization founded by members of the Religious Society of Friends, known as "Quakers." Its main objective is to support education in Guatemala by granting scholarships to individuals with limited resources and strong academic potential. Despite having been founded and supported by a religious group, Progresa is not a religious entity nor does it distinguish between the beliefs of its beneficiaries.
