ABOUT US
Brillantes Caminantes is a nonprofit organization based in Guanajuato, Mexico. We award scholarships to outstanding local students with limited economic resources and who are often the first in their family to attend university. Indeed, many are the first in their families to complete high school.
Along with a monthly stipend, each student receives a laptop at the beginning of their first year and is connected to a mentor who will provide support throughout their university career. We also provide additional financial support for dental, physical, and mental health needs, as well as for extracurricular academic opportunities.
Since its founding in 2009, Brillantes Caminantes has awarded scholarships to 70 students.
WE DEPEND ON OUR
GENEROUS DONORS
Every year we welcome new students who are taking their first steps toward the kind of opportunity that education provides. At the same time, our newly launched graduates are embarking on their professional careers.
Be part of the journey! With a one-time donation or a commitment to be a long-term donor to Brillantes Caminantes, you will ensure our capacity to brighten the future for our talented students.
