Since the inception of Milagro Center’s Teen Leadership Program in 2011, 100% percent of the at-risk teens attending this afterschool and summer camp academic and cultural arts program have successfully graduated from high school. But graduating high school is just the beginning for these determined teens. Most want to attend college or study a trade, but they do not have the adequate support to afford the tuition.
Since 2023, Milagro Center has granted over 50 Rising Stars Scholarships to Delray Beach’s most at-risk teens, helping cover the essential costs that keep them enrolled and moving forward. This has been possible through YOUR donations.
To help us make sure each one of our students can pursue a post-high school education, and those past Milagro graduates who are in college continue to receive support, we are seeking donors and corporate partners to make gifts of any amount to fully fund this scholarship initiative. This will help to take our graduating seniors and Milagro Alumni to the next level towards a successful and self-supporting life.
Did you know that 25% first-generation students drop out of college, most after their first year? Yes, that’s 1 in 4 students who give up their dreams of a college education, mostly due to limited financial resources and support. That’s why continued support is critical.
Milagro Center’s Rising Stars Scholarship Fund was created to ensure that students like Sadairille (see her photo below) don’t just reach college — they complete it.
🎓 Your donation helps provide tuition, textbooks, transportation, and other essentials that make college success possible.
Every gift — no matter the size — brings a student closer to their degree and a bright future.
👉 Donate today to help our Rising Stars shine — not just at college entry, but all the way to graduation.
With your donation, you’ll be making the career dreams of our deserving students come to life.
Congratulations to our 2025 Rising Stars Scholarship recipients!
