With the generous help of sponsors, Books and Wings is able to offer 23 scholarships this year. Students are chosen based on
good scholarship and financial need; they may not be related to teachers or school administrators.
“Becados” (Scholarship students) keep their scholarships by maintaining their grades, and are required to work in the library as
aides each week. They receive a monthly stipend and their own reference books, and may participate in occasional field trips.
Without their scholarships, most of these kids would enter the workforce as manual laborers, condemned to live the rest of their
lives in poverty.
