The BJC Scholars Fund, generously funded by BJC HealthCare and administered by The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis, is a scholarship opportunity for graduating high school seniors. These need-based, renewable $10,000 scholarships will be awarded to students residing in communities served by BJC hospitals, including those living in Crawford County.
To be eligible for the BJC scholarship, students must demonstrate financial need, academic potential, and good character. Students must be planning to pursue a degree (in any major) at a public college or university in their home state or at a public college or university out-of-state that is offering in-state tuition reciprocity. Interested students should submit the BJC Scholars Fund application online at myscholarshipcentral.org before April 16. For more information, visit www.sfstl.org or call (314) 725-7990.
