Education is the key to breaking cycles and building a stronger future
With an unwavering commitment to the youth of Puerto Rico, Maria Mercedes Pagán established the Beca MMP initiative to empower, uplift, and open doors through education. Her vision has provided scholarships, support, and inspiration to countless students since 2013 — reminding us all that belief in a young person’s potential can change the course of a life.
