Annual and Endowed Scholarships

The Need is Great – The Return Even Greater

The desire for a better life motivates BTC students to work hard and achieve their academic goals—often while juggling work and family responsibilities. In the past few years, students’ financial hardships have increased while state funding has substantially decreased. More students than ever are applying for limited scholarship dollars.

Here’s how you can invest in BTC students:

• Named Annual Scholarship - Minimum gift: $500 per year

Honor a loved one, establish a legacy or celebrate success. A named annual scholarship creates a personal connection between BTC students and an individual, business or an organization. Donors may specify award criteria to reflect values and objectives. 

• Endowed Scholarship - Minimum gift: $25,000

Make a lasting difference in the lives of BTC Students by establishing an endowed scholarship. An endowment requires a minimum gift of $25,000, which may be pledged over several years. Created through a bequest, charitable remainder trust, existing life insurance policy or current gifts, an endowment is the best way to ensure your gift honors your passions and values in perpetuity. Each year, 4 percent of the fund balance is awarded to a BTC student, allowing the fund to continue growing.

• General BTC Scholarships - Minimum gift: None

The easiest way to transform a BTC student’s life. Individuals, businesses and organizations may donate any amount to BTC Foundation’s General Scholarship Endowment or Annual Scholarship funds.
