A scholarship is a financial aid awarded usually based on academic merit, need, or exceptional talent. BC is committed to helping you fund your education. We will make every effort to help you with the cost of education - tuition and books. Helping students cover tuition and books (no matter what the source may be) is our ultimate goal.

Generally, a student must:

• Apply for financial aid.
• Be enrolled in at least half time (6-8 credits).
• Be seeking a degree in a financial aid approved program.

1. Apply for Financial Aid and have a complete financial aid file.
2. Fill out a BC scholarship application and submit it to any campus Student Financial Services Office.
3. Maintain at least a 2.0 GPA for most awards and be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours.

1. Institutional Scholarships are funded by BC and usually awarded by department (i.e. Athletes, Music-Theater, Honors). The steps above will make you eligible to be selected for these awards.
2. Foundation Scholarships are funded by generous donors and organizations. The steps above will make you eligible to be selected for these awards. Some awards with very specific criteria and funds still available are listed on Foundation Scholarships with contact information.
3. Other available scholarships (funded by local, regional or organizations) are listed on Outside Scholarships with the application link. BC does not select these scholarships but offers the information as another source for you.
