Scholarships for Community Students
DURING THE 2022-23 ACADEMIC YEAR, THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED 131 SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS TOTALING $486,993 TO 408 STUDENTS. THE MAJORITY OF THESE AWARDS WERE BASED ON FINANCIAL NEED. WHILE A DEGREE AT BLUE RIDGE COMMUNITY COLLEGE APPEARS AFFORDABLE, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS, IT IS BEYOND THE MEANS OF MANY STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. SCHOLARSHIPS WERE PROVIDED TO STUDENTS IN BOTH CREDIT AND NON-CREDIT PROGRAMS. INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL WERE SCHOLARSHIPS PROVIDED TO PARTICIPANTS IN BLUE RIDGE PROMISE, A BRIDGE PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS INTERESTED IN ATTENDING BRCC AFTER GRADUATION, WHICH INCLUDES A ONE-CREDIT STUDENT DEVELOPMENT (SDV) CLASS TO ENCOURAGE FOLLOW-THROUGH ON THEIR COLLEGE GOALS. AWARDS WERE ALSO MADE THROUGH THE CAREER PATHWAYS PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TAKING CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CLASSES THROUGH CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT OR DUAL ENROLLMENT. ALL OF THESE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS GIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE THEIR CAREER AND LIFE GOALS AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THEIR FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY LIVE AND WORK.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2022 – Jun 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$487KWage Reimbursements for Education Programs
