The goal of la BECA is to provide scholarships to young women in Central and South America. Through education, we are breaking the cycle of poverty and despair.

La BECA has awarded over $1 million since we started in 2005. We have provided scholarships to more than 130 young women in seven countries, including Bolivia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama.

If you would like to support this important work, you are welcome to donate online or mail a check to: P.O. Box 7064, Alexandria, VA, 22307. Please make checks payable to La BECA Women’s Scholarship Foundation. All donations are tax-deductible.
