Beca 18 is a scholarship offered by the Peruvian government to underprivileged students who are seeking to start their college and vocational education. Though limited to certain career paths, the scholarship pays for all living and educational expenses the student may incur during their studies. The registration/application for this scholarship is open now and the entrance tests occurs mid-December. The list of requirements and documentation is long. The difficulty is knowing what to provide as evidence and how to obtain each document needed. There is also some confusion about where students must apply.

As CdM we are investigating more about this incredible opportunity for the youth that La Casa del Maestro seeks to serve. Our executive director, Albino, has searched online, visited local municipalities, and talked with those at the Beca 18 office in order to learn more. Armed with the information, CdM aims to serve as a reference point for the many indigenous youth who will be applying in the next few weeks, helping to ease the confusion of legal paperwork that is tricky for anyone to manage.
