Impact Statement
BECA is dedicated to inspiring and empowering youth education in Nicaragua.
Specifically, BECA facilitates technical school scholarships for committed high school graduates who can't afford to continue their education.

Candidates are qualified via a six month screening process that includes a computer course and full-time volunteering in a primary school.
Those that finish receive a scholarship to study a technical career of their choice. The scholarship includes transportation expenses, tuition and books.
BECA supervises their progress by monthly visits to either their home or school.
Our cause is educational inequality in Nicaragua among high school grads. BECA envisions a future where all Nicaraguan high school graduates share the same educational opportunities.
Students receiving scholarships are asked to participate in two weekend community projects monthly.

Program Description:
BECA.org offers scholarships to Nicaraguans who cannot afford to continue their education, but who wish to return to school. Applications for scholarships are limited to those in financial need.
Profiles are posted on the BECA.org website (www.beca.org). Visitors to the website select and sponsor the candidates they wish to support. The donations are transferred to the BECA.org field office in Nicaragua, which then pays the tuition of the courses at the participating schools and technical centers.
Students receiving scholarships are required to: 1) do a social project in their community, for a minimum of three hours per week. 2) keep a weekly blog which is published on the BECA.org website.
Program Long-Term Success:
Beca is hopeful that a reasonable percentage of Nicaraguans receiving scholarships will be able to secure employment and improve their standard of living.
Program Short-Term Success:
Beca is hopeful that a reasonable percentage of Nicaraguans receiving
