Thank you from the La Tierra Sagrada Scholarship Recipients!
Since the La Tierra Sagrada Society was started by Dr. Paul Roth back in 1996, over $1Million in scholarships has been awarded. A combined total of $180,000 in awards were made in the last fiscal year, and there are currently 24 endowed LTSS scholarships. This past year alone, $83,689 was donated to the LTSS funds. Starting in 2021 all scholarship donors will be stewarded through the La Tierra Sagrada Society, because we believe that when you give, you belong. Donors like yourselves are part of a community, and we want to thank you for your incredible generosity and support of our students, especially during this tough time. It really does mean the world. Don't take our word for it. Watch the student video to hear it straight from them.
