BCP ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP

BCP students leave our schools with the knowledge, confidence, resilience, and relationships to pursue what comes next. We proudly support their educational and career steps. The BCP Alumni Scholarship, established in 2026, honors graduating high school seniors whose BCP experience helped shape their goals and prepare them for their journey, whether that’s college, career training, an apprenticeship, military service, or another path forward.

Once a BCP student, always part of the BCP family.
