University Scholarships
Each year, Club Las Amigas awards University Scholarships to students who wish to pursue higher education. This is a merit and needs-based scholarship that provides tuition, room, and board for four years. As of 2026, this scholarship has been awarded to over 220 deserving San Felipe students who have been able to attend and graduate college.
Private sponsorship is an option for anyone interested in supporting a student continuing on to university. Scholarships are $1500 yearly, or $125 a month with a four-year commitment to ensure students graduate.
