Becalos

30,044 students in 2014
221,323 total students

This initiative is the result of the support of thousands of people and institutions. Since its beginnings, the program has managed to provide scholarships to 221,000 people, including students and teachers, therefore driving the social and economic development of the country. As an Association, we call on our affiliated banks to facilitate their cashiers for the collection of funds throughout the Republic. In 2014, Becalos was supported by a network of 30 banks and financial institutions.

However, the collaboration of the ABM and the banking institutions goes far beyond support in infrastructure. Each participating bank, the Association and the Televisa Foundation make independent contributions from their own resources to increase the amount collected: for each person who contributes one peso at the cashier, the organizations duplicate the donation.

Contributions of Amigos de Bécalos, Boteo and Padrinos de Bécalos are added the amount collected. In 2014, the program collected $197 million pesos and with this, 30,044 new scholarships were offered to make a grand total of 221,323 students and $1,253 million collected in its history. The single collaboration model and the different players in society have consolidated Bécalos as one of the most successful private initiative projects. The ABM and its associates play a strategic role to approach and multiplying the good will of Mexicans to support education in the country.
