Scholarship Program

Nueva Esperanza’s signature program, through the generous hearts of private citizens, we provide families’ tuition and fees to financially support 12 Hispanic high school students at a north side parochial school. Additionally, we provide each student with the same academic resources as we do the neighborhood schools. We have adopted a culture at Nueva Esperanza that insists that if we offer each student all the necessary tools for academic success then that student will meet or exceed all expectations made of him or her.
