IME Becas/HACEMOS DFW Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by HACEMOS Scholarship Foundation

The IME Becas/HACEMOS DFW Scholarship Program is a remarkable initiative aimed at supporting students in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex who are embarking on their postsecondary education journey. The scholarship amount varies based on the type of institution the student is attending. For those enrolled in a two-year institution, the scholarship is $1,000, while students attending a four-year institution are awarded $2,000.

The selection process for recipients is comprehensive and takes into account several factors. These include academic performance, financial need, leadership skills, involvement in school and community activities, work experience, and a clear articulation of career and educational goals. Additionally, any unusual personal or family circumstances are also considered.
