EDUCATION
At BHI, we are committed to supporting college-bound youth and adults through our flagship initiative, the BHI Scholarship Program. This program is designed to assist individuals residing in public and Section 8 housing who are pursuing higher education, technical certifications, or returning to school.
Our scholarships, ranging from $500 to $5,000 per year, aim to help students overcome financial barriers and persist in their educational journeys. We focus on providing crucial support during our scholars’ entire college or secondary education journey; reducing dropout rates and ensuring our Scholars can meet their basic needs along with their education by covering costs of transportation, food, and educational supplies.
Beyond financial aid, the BHI Scholarship Program offers comprehensive support through strategic partnerships with SoCalCAN’s Project SOAR and HACLA’s Watts/LA WorkSource Center. These collaborations provide recipients with valuable resources including:
- College preparation counseling
- Assistance with FAFSA and CA Dream Act applications
- Scholarship and essay writing support
- Guidance on college persistence
- Summer employment and career counseling and placement
Our goal is to equip our scholarship recipients with the tools and resources they need to achieve their academic and career goals.
