Privately funded Since 1996, the ITA Scholar Program has depended exclusively on private donations from Guatemala and around the world to keep the ITA Scholar program growing steadily.

Enrollment To date, 93 exceptionally talented students have attended Universidad Francisco Marroquín as ITA Scholars. In 2009, three new ITA Scholars were accepted into the program and began their university studies.
Coverage For the 2009 academic year, the cost per student in the ITA program is $16,300. This covers all tuition and fees, books, room and board, medical insurance, and a monthly stipend for personal expenses and transportation.
Your support Your contribution to the ITA Scholar program can be a few extra dollars left over at the end of the month or funding one or more complete scholarships. All contributions are gratefully received and will be used to defray the costs of higher education for committed and passionate Guatemalans who would otherwise not have this opportunity.
Contributions may be made by check or online by credit card. You may also arrange to have periodic donations charged to your credit card at regular intervals.
