A YEAR TO REMEMBER Few of us will ever forget 2020!
With a cautious sigh of relief the year is ending a bit more hopeful than it has been since March.
Jóvenes Adelante had a busy summer and fall with some notable achievements.
The frustration and angst of online schooling in ad hoc programs has been palpable for Mexican students, as it has everywhere. Unfinished business for seniors, delayed internships and graduations, have defined 2020. Despite this, our students have mostly carried on and begun to both adjust, and to see the benefits of adaptability.
Internally, JA reevaluates its processes annually. This year the dramatic changes in the school environment stimulated further review. As of now, there is little reason to expect a return to normal education models next semester either.
HIGHLIGHTS
A NEW STUDENT PROFILE
For the first time, JA will accept students attending online universities - particularly (but not exclusively) students enrolling in the virtual platform of the Universidad Autónomo de Mexico (UNAM) - the most prestigious University in Latin American.
Our explicit goal is to select students who are either the first in their family to go to university, or are in the first generation (have a sibling who has attended, but not a parent). This is a significant measure of changing of socio/economic mobility.
Of course demonstrated financial need, high GPA and from San Miguel. Applicants must be 29 years of age or younger upon application.
CONVOCATORIA 2021

From all of us at Jóvenes Adelante, we hope to see our Canadian supporters in SMA soon and wish you all a merry holiday season and a better 2021!
