Silvio José Ortega Arceda 

Telecommunications

Scholarship annual cost: $1925
If you would like to sponsor Silvio,
​
please email Board President Katie Brugger
Silvio was born on August 14, 1998; He is 22 years old. He lives in the Las Delicias neighborhood about 2.4 km from San Juan del Sur. 6 people live in his home; among them, his father, mother, paternal grandmother, a sister (13 years old), a brother (9 years old) and Silvio. His mother is currently unemployed and is engaged in household occupations, his father works for the local taxi driver service. The economic income of the household comes only from Silvio's father, which is sufficient only for the expenses of food, basic services and studies of the two younger children.

Silvio finished his secondary studies in 2015 at the Instituto Nacional Enmanuel Mongalo y Rubio of the Municipality of San Juan del Sur, with an academic average in his last year of 90%. He was selected to participate in municipal and departmental academic competitions promoted by the school where he studied. His favorite classes during secondary studies were: natural science, chemistry, and biology. Silvio entered university in 2016, pursuing two professional careers, the first electrical engineering at the National Engineering University (UNI) and the second, network engineering and telecommunications at the Central America University (UCA), both in Managua. It should be noted that due to his high academic performance, he obtained scholarships for exemption from tuition. However, due to the difficult economic situation that Silvio's parents are going through; he chose to stop studying electrical engineering and has continued studying, with many limitations and difficulties, network and telecommunication engineering, obtaining very good academic results. He is currently in his third year.
​
Silvio is characterized by being responsible, persevering, and resilient to adversity, with a high degree of maturity and a desire to improve professionally to contribute to his family and the community. In his spare time he likes to play the guitar, listen to music and practice judo. In 2019 Silvio volunteered as an English teacher in a distance-learning high school program; he traveled to a rural community every Saturday. Silvio has also been a volunteer tutor in reinforcement classes for classmates in college. One of the problems that Silvio worries about in society is the deficiency in the educational quality of the Nicaraguan educational system. He would be willing to contribute by facilitating school reinforcement classes. His personal goals are to raise his academic average, complete his professional career and study a postgraduate degree abroad.
