High School Scholarship Available, Annual Bowling Tournament set for April 6th

Albuquerque, NM February 12, 2019: The 2018-2019 school year marks the fifth consecutive year that Burqueños for Education and Empowerment (BEE) Scholarships will award college scholarships to New Mexico high school students.

More than 20 students have used their funds toward their professional and collegiate futures. "BEE Scholarships was founded on the idea of helping students attend college that may not have otherwise for financial reasons. The past recipients demonstrate that the ideas that started BEE Scholarships have been successful and are thriving," said BEE Scholarships’ President, Matthew Salas.

Previous scholarship recipients are attending universities across the United States including, Yale, Smith College, University of New Mexico, New Mexico State, and Central New Mexico Community College.

BEE Scholarships’ largest annual fundraiser, an annual bowling tournament, is set to take place at 1:00 pm, Saturday, April 6th at the Isleta Casino Fun Connection Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. To find out more information on the Tournament, please visit our events page.

“Our goal in 2019 is to award another five scholarships!” said BEE Scholarships Vice President, Jorge Hernandez. “We’re very much looking forward to another year of volunteering, and fundraising---it’s great to have such a supportive community.”
