The recipients must carry 15 credit hours at BSC and earn a 3.00 GPA during their first semester to qualify for the second semester payment. Other Scholarships Many local and state service clubs and professional organizations offer scholarships to students. Awarding of these scholarships may be based on talent and potential in a particular field of study, on recommendation from instructors and employers, on academic excellence, on financial need, or a combination of these. As these scholarships become available, notices are published in the BSC Daily Chronicle , which is posted on bulletin boards around campus. Students may also ask the Financial Aid Office about the scholarships.
Scholarships are also available from many national organizations, associations and companies.
The Chronicle Student Aid Annual, a directory listing these scholarships, is available in the Financial Aid Office. The College Library also has a copy of the student aid annual, as well as other directories of student financial aid. In 1993 the State Board of Higher Education adopted a tuition waiver program to recruit, assist and retain minority students. To apply, students must complete a BSC tuition waiver application form.
