It’s BSC Scholarship Registration Time! Register TODAY!
WRITTEN BY DAVID APPELBAUM (Development Director)
It’s that time again! Register now for your Fall/Spring Coop Scholarship.
The last day to register is June 26th - so don’t put it off. It’s closer than you think!
As a reminder, scholarships are based on need so it’s critical you fill out the application fully and set access to your Cal-Net account to the Development Director: dd@bsc.coop.
Amounts are either 1/3 or 2/3’s of one term’s rent divided by two. One half for Fall and one half for Spring. It is NOT a straight 1/3 or 2/3’s of your rent per term just so there’s no confusion.
You will also be eligible for additional scholarship funds from our pool of 10 endowed scholarships. These are funds donated by former members as part of their estate plan and are distributed based on both need and specific criteria such as GPA, area of study, place of birth, and other criteria they felt strongly about. Members are selected by the Estate executors and/or grant administrators.
Thank you and sign up now! BSC Scholarship Application for Fall 2026 - Spring 2027 Academic Year [Google Form]
