Dear Bavaria Community and Spouses’ Club Scholarship Applicant;
The Scholarship Committee of the Bavaria Community and Spouses’ Club (BCSC) welcomes your interest in applying for one of our scholarships to assist in the continuation of your education. These scholarships are made possible through BCSC-sponsored activities, such as our Thrift Shops and the annual Crown Jewel Bazaar. The Scholarship Committee reviews submissions anonymously and determines applicant merit based on packet submission. The selection criteria include: Cumulative GPA of 2.8 and above, community service, work experience, personal essay, bonus question, and one letter of recommendation. Financial need is not a factor in award consideration. The Scholarship Committee will determine the award recipients through an analysis of scores. The number of scholarships awarded, and the monetary value of each scholarship is based on available funds. Submission of an application does not guarantee receipt of a scholarship.
Scholarship applications are available starting on February 1, 2023 and complete applications must be received no later than February 28, 2023. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at scholarships@bavariacsc.com. Thank you for your interest and I wish you well with your future academic endeavors.
Please be sure to read through the application in its entirety. Questions? Email scholarships@bavariacsc.com.
