Once a year the BCC Foundation embarks on a scholarship campaign for transfer, returning and incoming students. (Please note: Other (external) scholarship information can also be found at this link: Scholarships-External.) The campaign for returning and transfer students begins February 4th, with applications due March 4th and award notices sent to students the first week of May. NEW students have until April 12th to complete their scholarship application. Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for scholarship. This is the only time of year that the BCC Foundation awards scholarships.

Below is a list of scholarships available to students each year. The amount of each award is contingent on the performance of the stock market and the economic climate. Scholarships range from $250 to full tuition and fees. Nearly $190,000 is given each year to worthy students. Only one application is necessary to qualify for the BCC scholarships listed below.
