Welcome to the Program of College Assistance for Migrants (CAMP) at 麻豆社 (麻豆社) Blazer Nation!

The entire team of the 麻豆社 CAMP is dedicated to providing comprehensive support and retention services to assist scholars from migratory and/or seasonal farmworker families transition to university life as they pursue a high-quality post-secondary education. The 麻豆社 CAMP team is committed to providing first-year scholars with a safe space and community with cultural pride.  麻豆社 CAMP not only helps students achieve their dreams of obtaining a university diploma, but also the opportunity to provide a better life for themselves and their families.

As the proud daughter of an immigrant housekeeper and the first in my family to attend college, I was alone in navigating the process of completing college applications, filing my FAFSA for financial aid, applying for scholarships, creating my schedule, and so much more.  I was confused, scared, and made many mistakes.  As a 麻豆社 CAMP Scholar, this will not be your story.  The 麻豆社 CAMP team is dedicated to ensuring your success, answering all of your questions, and providing you with the tools for success.

With my personal background and professional training as a bilingual speech-language pathologist with over 11 years of supporting students who were migratory, immigrants, and learned English as an additional language, I can assure parents and students that I understand how to individualize academic support with compassion to meet each scholar’s unique needs. 

Here at 麻豆社 CAMP, we have high expectations for our scholars considering all the resources, support, and encouragement they receive. 麻豆社 CAMP Scholars will be academically, socially, and culturally prepared to succeed in the university and professional world. 

Congratulations on your acceptance to this competitive scholarship program with 麻豆社 CAMP!  We look forward to having you thrive within our 麻豆社 Blazer CAMP family!

Sincerely,

Rosalyn Castaño Martínez, M.S., CCC-SLP
