The MESCyT authorities recalled that each year, due to the large number of applications (ranging from 79,000 to 85,000 files), many applicants must wait for future calls, but they assured that the “Beca Tu Futuro” program will continue to grow to offer more opportunities.
The institution highlighted that this process is strictly academic and merit-based, guaranteeing equal opportunities for all young people in the country, regardless of origin, economic condition, ideology, or religion.
With this program, the Dominican Government reaffirms its commitment to education, strengthening human capital and training professionals in strategic areas for national development. This call is made from February 21st and concludes in March.
