Applications were due February 28, 2025
Letters of Recommendation
You must provide TWO letters of recommendation. Applications with missing letters of recommendation will not be considered. Choose references who know you, your character, and/or your work ethic, and then notify your reference writer that they will be receiving a request from you for a letter of recommendation. Some examples may include teacher, coach, work supervisor, volunteer leader, pastor, neighbor, etc. These are only examples; your choices may differ.
Letters of recommendation are now closed.
Recommendations can be sent in two ways:
1. Click the button below to send the request form directly (via email). The reference writer then completes the form, which is automatically attached to the student’s application.
2. Email with STUDENT’S NAME in the subject line to barabooscholarships@gmail.com
Applying for Financial Need-Based Scholarships
If you are interested in being considered for any BCSC-administered scholarship with a financial need requirement, complete the standard FAFSA Form and attach a PDF of your FAFSA Submission Summary.
If you do not complete a FAFSA form and provide the proper documentation, you will NOT be considered for scholarships that require financial need. Please note that “As Reported by the IRS” is not an acceptable response. We need actual numbers to process your application. Be sure to follow all directions carefully and provide all requested information, or your submission will be disqualified.
The FAFSA Form is available online at fafsa.gov. You will need data from your 2022 or 2023 Federal Income Tax returns. After you complete your worksheet, the agency will take several days to process your information before you can attach a PDF of your FAFSA Submission Summary. A certificate stating that you completed the FAFSA Form is not acceptable. Print your application before you submit it so you have a copy of all the data you submitted.
Please note: After you complete the FAFSA form, it may take several days to get the PDF of your FAFSA Submission Summary.
Next, provide BCSC with the following four figures as reported on your FAFSA application:
- Adjusted Gross Income
- Net Worth
- Number in Family
- Number in College
