Each academic year BCC students receive between $30,000. and $65,000. from private scholarship sources that they have applied to on their own. Private scholarships can be offered from many different and unexpected sources such as labor unions, civic organizations, church groups and industries to name a few. In order to locate private scholarship sources you can ask your employer, family and friends; conduct research in your local library; watch your college/high school newspaper; and ask your financial aid officer.

You may conduct your own private scholarship search through the use of Next Student Loans Scholarship Search.  Additional free scholarship search engines are available at FINAID.ORG.
