The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte on Thursday participated in the "Scholarships Transform Lives" ceremony to recognize the perseverance of those students who are beneficiaries of the National Scholarship and Educational Credit Program's (Pronabec) Beca 18 (Scholarship 18).

The event took place at Lima Convention Center in the Peruvian capital city.

The winners are youth with limited economic resources or in situation of vulnerability, who have achieved high academic performance.

These students successfully passed the different stages of Beca 18's 2023 contest, which began in September last year.

After obtaining scholarships, they will pursue a career at quality higher education institutions. All expenses will be paid for by the Peruvian State.
