January 13, 2022

READING, PA (January 13, 2021) – Most of the nearly 100 scholarship funds administered by Berks County Community Foundation will accept applications until March 15, 2022.

By completing one online application at http://bccf.link/scholarships, students can be matched to any of the nearly 100 scholarship funds for which they may qualify.

The Community Foundation has awarded more than $10 million in scholarships to local students since its founding in 1994.

To review all of the scholarships that the Community Foundation has available, visit https://bccf.org/search-for-scholarships/.

Applicants with questions can email Kim Sheffer, Lifelong Learning Program Associate, at kims@bccf.org or scholarships@bccf.org.

Almost all of these scholarships were created by Berks County residents to support local students.

The online application for K-12 tax credit scholarships in Berks County will be available on our website in May for the 2022-2023 school year.

Berks County Community Foundation last held its annual Scholarship Luncheon in 2019. After taking a two-year break due to the pandemic, the Community Foundation is planning to next hold the luncheon in June 2022 to honor this year’s scholarship recipients.
