Building a better future
Our mission to break the cycle of poverty through education. We provide scholarships to dedicated students whose socio-economic status in Guatemala prohibits access to formal schooling beyond their primary years.
Today, 1 in every 3 Guatemalans has never been to school and most adults have less than a 5th grade education. This lack of schooling propels the cycle of poverty, making economic growth virtually impossible. By easing the financial burden on struggling families, the William Scheid Fund enables students to complete high school and find employment above the line of poverty.
