Bonham, Vivian M., Scholarship Grant

The Bonham, Vivian M. Scholarship, offered by the Beatrice Educational Foundation, provides a $2,500 scholarship to a graduating senior girl from Beatrice High School pursuing a business career. Established to support students in need, the scholarship is awarded based on interest in business, financial need, and a minimum GPA of 2.5. Recipients must submit a faculty recommendation from a business teacher and a Student Aid Report from FAFSA. This scholarship aims to empower future female leaders in business.

Overview
The Foundation’s purpose is to provide a permanent source of financial support for the expansion and enrichment of learning opportunities for the Beatrice School District.
The Foundation manages a $3.8 million Endowment Fund and awards over $55,000 each year in scholarships to Beatrice High School graduating seniors.
The intent of the Foundation is to provide funds to deserving students needing assistance to attend a school of higher learning. Should a recipient receive other scholarship funds in excess of need, the Foundation scholarship will not be forwarded at that time. It will, however, be available for a five-year period should the recipient need these funds at a later date for tuition, room and board, or books. Foundation scholarships are restricted to undergraduate studies.
One $2,500 scholarship (payable over two semesters) is available to a graduating senior girl of Beatrice High School pursuing a career in Business. The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of ability and interest in business and financial need, preferably, but not necessarily. A 2.500 grade point average is required and the faculty recommendation must come from a BHS business teacher. Students must demonstrate an interest and aptitude for Business. A copy of the Student Aid Report (SAR) from the Free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required to complete the application process.
