BASIC awards two kinds of scholarships: start-school scholarships to graduating high school seniors and to “newcomers” to our scholarship program and stay-in-school scholarships to those who continue their educational journey. This year we will award 19 start-school scholarships and 30 stay-in-school scholarships.
BASIC’s Named Scholarships
For the past 10 years, BASIC has also awarded Named Scholarships…scholarships funded by donors who wish to have a loved one remembered or support education in a specific field or reward academic excellence. These awards are given in addition to start-school and stay-in-school scholarship awards. This year we are delighted to report that BASIC has three new Named Scholarships. Two of them, the Barbara Coates Scholarship and the Martha Deichler Scholarship, support students pursuing careers as teachers. The third, the Gary Bezer and Liss Fleury Scholarship, is a special award given to support academic excellence and high probability of success. Here are the awardees for the Named Scholarships.
