In
1991, a group of Byron area community members formed the Byron
Community Scholarship Fund (BCSF). Through the assistance of the
Shiawassee Foundation, a non-profit community foundation, a fund
evolved designed to provide scholarships to any Byron High School
graduate (past or present) to assist them in their pursuit of higher
education.
Scholarships are
awarded every year for vocational school, trade school, or to
college bound students. All scholarships are awarded from the
interest the fund generates, therefore, awards from the fund for
scholarships will always be available.
As
of May 2006, the
fund provided scholarships totaling $67,500. As of
February 2007, the BCSF totals over
$164,000.00
Any graduate of
Byron Area Schools or current seniors who would like information or
an application can contact the school counselor or down load the
application from this web site when available.
Contributions should be made payable to:
