Wednesday is the first day for students attending any Butler County Community College campus to apply for over $200,000 in scholarships.
128 named scholarships will be awarded to BC3 students for the upcoming year including 12 new ones this year.
One such new scholarship was established by an endowment from the members of the last local Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge, Connequenessing Lodge 278. This $500 scholarship will go to a second year full-time student in BC3’s Nursing, R.N. program. Another new scholarship to be awarded this year is in memory of 2016 BC3 Nursing Program graduate Sarah Kasunic who died in Tennessee one year ago.
The deadline for students to apply for a BC3 scholarship is July 1st. Visit BC3’s website for more information.
