Scholarships
BOVIA provides scholarships for graduating high school seniors of BOVIA members who intend to continue their education (academic or trade school). The only requirement is that the student graduate from high school, intend to further his/her education, and that the student’s family is currently a member and has been a BOVIA member for two previous years.
In a past year, we had no applications for scholarships which was surprising since we saw several placards and signs in front yards in our neighborhood congratulating their graduating seniors. So, make sure you join BOVIA so that your child will be eligible to receive a BOVIA scholarship when he/she becomes a graduating senior.
If you would like more information about the BOVIA Scholarship, please email BOVIA Vice President Linda Dana at lfd226@sbcglobal.net.
Donations are welcome. We have been very fortunate to receive several donations in past years which we greatly appreciated. BOVIA is a 501C non-profit organization, so donations to our scholarship fund are considered a charitable deduction for tax purposes. Please email BOVIA Treasurer, Eric Hon, at boviaconnect@gmail.com if you would like to contribute to the BOVIA Scholarship Fund.
