Become a Friend of Education

Your contribution allows students from Latin America and the Caribbean to get an advanced degree and become change-makers in their communities

Meet the change makers

The CATIE scholarship fund specifically helps students who would not otherwise have an opportunity to obtain an advanced degree. This opens doors of possibility for each individual to become a transformative leader. CATIE graduates use their degrees and experiences in applied research to advance sustainable development regionally and globally.

Current Campaign: The Miley González Scholarship Fund for Indigenous Peoples

Dr. I. Miley González (1946-2020) spent nearly five decades of his distinguished career serving rural students and communities, in the United States and globally. Miley was born at Ysleta del Sur Pueblo in Texas, a Native American tribal entity and served as Deputy Director at CATIE for many years. This scholarship fund was established in 2020 in his memory
