High School, and Bilingual Nursing Scholarships Available, Laptop Scholarship Partnership in the Works

Albuquerque, NM Feb 1, 2018: Happy New Year! It has been an eventful year for Burqueños for Education and Empowerment (BEE) Scholarships thus far. To begin, BEE currently has two scholarships available for applicants: The first scholarship is BEE’s high school scholarship. Any graduating student can apply by visiting our website. Once applicants fill out some basic information and submit their request, they will receive a follow up email with the application.

For the first time, BEE has partnered with Samantha Alvidrez, a nurse at UNM Hospital, and created the Vales Por Dos Scholarship dedicated to bilingual nursing students. Interested applicants can request and application by visiting the scholarships webpage by clicking here. Both scholarship application deadlines are March 1st. Scholarship recipients will be notified no later than April 1st.

In other news, BEE Scholarships’ 4th Annual Bowling Tournament has been set for Saturday, April 7th. The tournament will once again be held at Isleta Fun Connection and will begin at 2pm. Registration for the tournament will begin at 1pm. Bowlers will be allowed time to warm up and practice 10 minutes before the tournament starts. Last year’s tournament had nearly fifty participants and we hope to continue and improve on the turnout, so please mark your calendars.

Registration fees for the tournament are as follows:

Individuals can bowl for $30
Team of two, registration will be $50
Team of three, registration will be $70
Teams of four can register for only $90
All kids 15 and under bowl for just $15!

Each bowler will be given three games to bowl as part of the tournament. Bowlers that do not have enough for a team of four will be partnered with other bowlers to complete a team, unless otherwise noted. Prizes will be awarded to all members of the winning team. The top male, female, and kid bowler (that are not part of the winning team) will also walk away with a prize!

Lastly, BEE Scholarships has partnered with Daisy Astorga, a previous recipient of a BEE scholarship, and created the Se Vale Soñar Scholarship, a scholarship with the mission to provide laptops to students and help and encourage first generation, Latino/a, low-income high school students with academic high success to search and apply for volunteering and internship opportunities, to apply to college fly-ins, colleges, and scholarships, and all other necessities to make the college experience better for students that require a laptop. For more information, please visit the Se Vale Soñar Scholarship page on our website learn more about the scholarship, the mission, background story, and more.
