What is a Beca

Scholarships are aid to the financing of studies offered to students by an agency or entity. These financial contributions can be to study compulsory or post-compulsory, and are always granted when the student meets the requirements established in the call. In addition to scholarships, there are other ways to fund studies.

What kind of financial aid is there to study?

There are different grants, scholarships, financing systems, payment fractionation or other options that allow you to face the cost of studies, either through opportunities promoted by public administrations or private entities.

Scholarships and scholarships will allow you to study your studies without having to worry about the cost. In order to qualify for these funding aids, you must comply with the requirements set out in each call and submit all the documentation within the indicated timeframe.

On the website of each convening agency you can consult the requirements, the period in which you have to start processing your application and the documentation that you need to prove to qualify for the benefit.

In the case of payment splitting, the centers may raise collections in different periods and course periods, rather than in a single payment. It is a convenient way to pay for studies, and to meet the economic needs of students. It allows you to have a forecast and planning with a time margin.

On the other hand, financing and lending can be through entities that are already engaged in this type of services, such as banks and banks, or other private entities. With this option you can get a loan that will help you pay for your studies in a fractional and low interest way.
