2012 Nominee Guidelines - Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship Program

The Foundation will award approximately 60 scholarships to outstanding students to begin studies in fall 2012. Each award will cover a portion of educational expenses, including tuition, living expenses, and other required fees, and books for the final two to three years of the baccalaureate degree. Every scholarship varies, depending on the cost of attendance and other scholarships or grants received.
The maximum award available per student is $30,000 per year. Scholars may use the award to attend any accredited college or university in the US in pursuit of a baccalaureate degree. The Foundation renews awards annually, provided the Jack Kent Cooke Scholar has maintained high academic performance, exhibited good conduct, made significant progress toward a degree, and complied with the Foundation’s administrative requirements and requests.

Battle with the brightest students in the nation.

 

What is Brain Bowl?

Brain Bowl is an annual academic competition among teams from participating Florida community colleges. Students answer questions from Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Math in a “Jeopardy Style” format.  The teams, each consisting of up to five members, first compete in their assigned regions. Winners of the regional tournaments go on to compete in the state tournaments, usually held in February or March. Brain Bowl members also participate in NAQT (National Association of Quiz Tourneys) tournaments and other nationwide college competitions. If you’re good at Jeopardy and Trivial Pursuit, Brain Bowl is for you.

For more information, contact Professor Jeffrey Guild (954-201-6618, jguild@broward.edu) or Professor Ronnie Rothschild (954-201-6578, rrothsch@broward.edu).

After 27 years at Broward College, the last eight as provost of Central Campus, Dr. Lois Bolton is retiring. We had an opportunity to say goodbye and wish her well at the retirement party hosted for her last month.

Dr. Bocchino and Dr. Bolton

There was another farewell at the meeting of the Board of Trustees on June 22nd. Dr. Bolton, who began her career as a biology instructor, was honored with the establishment of a biology scholarship in her name by the Broward College Foundation. In addition, Honors Institute Associate Vice President Dr. Irmgard Bocchino presented Dr. Bolton with the 2010 Honors Administrator of the Year Award for her outstanding efforts on behalf of the Honors program on Central Campus. In her brief remarks, Dr. Bolton said, “Together we’ve helped Broward College to change and to grow. Even though I’m leaving, my heart will be with you as you change and grow.” She will be missed.
