Bay Area Community Project Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Bay Area Community Project, Inc.
For nearly six decades (58 years), the Bay Area Community Project, Inc. has provided more than 700 scholarships to accomplished high school graduates. This scholarship effort is a central component of the organization's national Guide Right Program. Recipients have pursued degrees at institutions coast-to-coast — from Ivy League universities to Historically Black Colleges and Universities — and we monitor each awardee’s academic progress through to graduation. Many alumni return to campus visits and speak with newly selected scholars, sharing their experiences and advice.
