You have the chance to make a real difference in a child’s life. By becoming their sponsor, you’re not only providing access to education and supporting their family, but you are also making it possible to guide them toward a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and the hope He brings.
Until now, Montebello’s growth has allowed us to provide scholarships to our most vulnerable students without the need for outside sponsorship. However, we’ve reached a critical point. Our internal budget, 90% of which goes directly to educational costs, primarily for retaining effective teachers, has reached its limit. Attracting and keeping excellent educators is essential to everything we do. Their dedication makes it possible to continue offering this life-changing opportunity to the children who need it most.
To expand our mission of providing high-quality education to marginalized children, we’re now inviting others to join us as partners, individuals and groups willing to invest in the future of a child.
The cost of a Montebello Academy education is $4,800 per year. Whether you choose to sponsor a child in full or contribute as part of a group, this is an opportunity to be part of something deeper than temporary aid. It’s a chance to be used by God to help bring lasting change.
Together, we can help write futures shaped by hope and filled with purpose.
To make a gift, go to the “Donate” page and follow the format depending on:
Sponsorship of a child as part of a group of sponsors who will make up the amount needed, whether monthly or annually, that together represents the $4800 needed for the one-year tuition cost. Or:
Sponsorship of a child as an individual donor, either by the gift of $400 monthly or the $4800 annual amount in one donation per year.
Once your gift has been made, we will select a child, or if you prefer, you can select from among different profiles we can provide. Either way, once selected, the specific details regarding the child chosen will be provided to you.
And, of course, if information about a child waiting for a sponsor is desired before deciding to sponsor, we would be happy to respond to your request for more information if you send us your questions on this specific subject, or any other aspect of the mission of which you would be interested, through our “Contact” portal.
Yes, you may indicate a specific gift and whether it is “one-time” or recurrent. (checks or bank transfer may be preferred for larger amounts)
For monthly contributions we are asking for a commitment of a minimum one (1) year, after which you may choose to renew for another year. However, donors may terminate monthly gifts at anytime by request from the donation page.
Yes! Email, Sponsor / Student text, voice and video platform will be provided…and for some, there is even the possibility of a personal visit (which are most often in conjunction with tourism plans)
Our Student Services Coordinator will be constantly monitoring student wellbeing, providing necessary interventions on an ongoing basis. All relevant information regarding how the sponsored student is thriving at school and progressing in their personal lives, physically and spiritually, will be shared with sponsors regularly.
The opportunity to offer a child an education at Montebello Academy through sponsorship is initiated through a few different channels. Once a candidate is identified, Montebello has a series of processes by which the student can be qualified for the opportunity that we are offering through sponsorship. Once the qualification process is concluded, a search begins for sponsorship. Sponsorship may be accomplished by a single sponsor or multiple sponsors
Except in certain cases where circumstances produce a need among existing Montebello students, this program is offered specifically for new students qualified to enter Montebello for the first time. However, in the case of a sponsored student losing their sponsor, the opportunity for having a new sponsor would then be reopened.
The cost of a Montebello Academy education is approximately $4800 per year. This equates to $480 monthly. While this amount will be within reach for some individual sponsorships, others are accomplished through a team effort.
100% of your support goes to the child’s education expenses. (tuition and materials)
