students, totaling $24,450 (USD). This included scholarships for 6

in High School and 22 in University. Students attending La Mision
schools meeting the necessary criteria of excellent grades combined
with verifiable financial needs are eligible for consideration. BECA students must maintain high grades and show an intense desire to improve, advance and excel in education.
