BPI Scholars​ Program Grant

We provide scholarships to graduating high school seniors with a financial need who are pursuing post-secondary certifications, associate degrees, and apprenticeships in skills-based fields.
In addition to scholarships, BPI provides grants to nonprofit partners that deliver critical wrap-around services like transportation, childcare, language support, and mentoring to these financially disadvantaged young adults.
Becoming a BPI Scholar is both an academic honor and access to a support network of partners and resources designed for success.
We administer our own program, personally reviewing each applicant as a potential BPI Scholar.
