A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SCHOLAR SELECTION

The Bravante Family Foundation is looking for high school sophomores who show academic promise, strong work ethic, intellectual curiosity, and a dedication to community service.  Financial need will also be a primary consideration for the Bravante Mothers’ Scholarship.  We take a holistic approach to reviewing applications, and we do not have absolute criteria or cut-offs for GPA, standardized test scores, income, or other factors.

THE REQUIREMENTS

The primary qualifications for consideration are as follows:

  1. The applicant is a high school sophomore / rising junior

  2. The applicant has obtained a recommendation from one of our BMS Scouts

  3. The applicant demonstrates significant financial need (typically coming from families with a total annual income of $65,000 or less)

APPLICATION MATERIALS

  1. Freshman and sophomore year transcripts

  2. Personal statement and essay responses

  3. Listing of extracurricular activities, community service involvement, and awards / honors
