What is the BYRON COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP FUND?

In 1991 a group of Byron area community members formed the Byron Community Scholarship Fund (BCSF).  Through the assistance of the Shiawassee Community Foundation, a non-profit community foundation, a fund evolved designed to provide scholarships to Byron High School graduates (both past and current) to assist them in their pursuit of higher education.

Our group's goal is to award several scholarships each year for vocational/ trade school students and for college bound students. 

Applicants are judged equally in the following 4 areas:

 Because all scholarships are awarded from the interest the fund generates each year, awards from the scholarship fund will continue indefinitely.  And because only interest is awarded, every tax deductible dollar donated to the BCSF will remain in the fund forever.

As of February 1st, 2007, the BCSF endowment fund balance was $164,126.    We would like to be in a position to award several $750 and $1000 scholarships each year.  The Byron Community Scholarship Fund is comprised of three funds: The BCSF General Fund, The Duncanson Family Fund and The Chase Bank  Fund. 

Private donations and memorial donations may be made in any amount and are tax deductible.  Thank you for your consideration.  Donations should be mailed to:
