The BECA Foundation Scholarship Program -

Through financial and spiritual support, BECA Foundation will inspire and enable aspirant Latino students to pursue higher education.

BECA thinks that every San Diego County Latino high school graduate should have the chance to enroll in a college or university if they so want. Education and money are frequently related. BECA promotes and inspires aspirant Latino students to follow their dreams by providing financial assistance and coaching. This makes it possible to better prepare students for lives of meaning, service, and leadership in our communities as well as help our country develop.

BECA Foundation

BECA, which stands for “scholarship” in Spanish, was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in 1984. Co-Founders Joe Costa, Bill Dominguez, Dr. Fred Huber, Dr. John MacDonald, David Martnez, Ted Marioncelli, Al Mendoza, Thomas Missettt, Jack Port, Judge Victor Ramirez, and David Ronquillo, Esq. are responsible for this success.

What BECA set out to do in 1984—Make a Difference—has been completed. Giving gifts is frequently seen as a way to express joy about accomplishments. Your donation will be money well spent if you concur with BECA’s mission and achievements. Aiding in the education of our Latino population is a wise investment that will only benefit our neighborhoods and the country as a whole.

Achievements

Over 830 awards totaling over $1.8 million have been given to students since 1984. The value of mentoring in ensuring success remains BECA’s main concern. Former beneficiaries have pursued a variety of vocations and can now be found in different labor markets.

Mission

Through financial and spiritual support, the BECA Foundation will inspire and enable aspirant Latino students to pursue higher education.

Vision

The BECA Foundation will assist in lowering the drop-out rate among Latino students, enabling them to pursue the “Possible Dream” of higher education.
