What is a scholarship?/ ¿Qué es una beca?
(English) A scholarship is free money to help pay for your education—and the best part is, you don’t have to pay it back! Scholarships come from many places, like schools, employers, individuals, companies, nonprofits, communities, churches, and professional or social groups.
(Spanish) Una beca es dinero gratis para ayudarte a pagar tus estudios, ¡y lo mejor es que no tienes que devolverlo! Las becas pueden venir de muchos lugares, como escuelas, empleadores, personas, empresas, organizaciones sin fines de lucro, comunidades, iglesias y grupos profesionales o sociales.

Our scholarship is called the “Anthony Brucia Success Award,” named after the late son of one of our Board members. Anthony “turned it around.” The award is intended for resilient students who have also made a turn-around in their lives. The kind of student we desire to recognize and honor is a young person who does not have a 4.0+ throughout four years of high school. We’re looking for a student who has recently overcome a lack of success, and/or who has had to struggle to maintain academic progress due to a variety of reasons. These include, but not limited to peer, personal or family stress. This award acknowledges and supports high school seniors who may have been burdened by “at risk” circumstances and/or may have “hit bottom,”….. but have now put things back together and show future promise!
If you believe you are a good candidate for the “Anthony Brucia Success Award,” please complete the APPLICATION FOR THE ANTHONY BRUCIA SUCCESS AWARD, including all items that are listed at the bottom of the application. Ask your counselor for a copy of the form and don’t hesitate to ask someone for assistance. They and other information also be found at the Anthony Brucia Success Awards Foundation web page at:
