The BC3 Education Foundation awards over $120,000 a year in scholarships to BC3 students.
For need-based scholarships, you are required to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) prior to submitting your scholarship application. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov. For academic scholarships, in the event of multiple candidates having comparable GPAs, preference will be given to those who have completed the FAFSA form and have greater financial need.
Here's how you get started in 8 easy steps:
IMPORTANT! Application packet and final transcript must be received by BC3 by July 1st. (Exception: Knoch High School students’ final transcripts will be accepted until July 10, 2010).Scholarships will be awarded upon verification of final transcript.
All applications become property of BC3, which reserves the right to use the recipient’s name in promotional literature. All financial and academic material will be kept confidential. Applicants will be notified of determination by mail in July. Scholarship awards will be applied to recipient’s account for use as specified unless otherwise noted.
Scholarships are available to all Students and Majors!
