Brewers Community Foundation Now Accepting Scholarship Applications
Annual Scholarship Programs Now Accepting Applications for 2024
MILWAUKEE – Brewers Community Foundation (BCF) today announced applications are now open for BCF annual scholarship programs, including the Allan H. Selig Scholarship and James Beckum – Player/Coach Scholarship.
“A core tenet of Brewers Community Foundation is to increase access to education,” said BCF Executive Director Cecelia Gore. “We take great pride in aiding students in our community who seek a higher education and are proud to support the future leaders of tomorrow through the scholarship programs.”
The James Beckum – Player/Coach Scholarship Program is made possible thanks to Milwaukee Brewers players and coaches’ commitment to educational opportunities for youth and was named after James Beckum, who played for two years on the St. Louis Giants, a Negro League team, and co-founded the Beckum-Stapleton Little League, one of the first organized sports in the city of Milwaukee. This scholarship is a one-year award for students who plan to attend or are currently attending a college or university based in the State of Wisconsin. Scholarship awards have been between $1,000 and $2,500.
Interested students can visit brewers.com/BCF to apply and should complete their application by Friday, May 31, 2024.
Brewers Community Foundation harnesses the pride, passion and commitment of Brewers fans, players and other supporters to positively impact the lives of children and their families in the Greater Milwaukee area and throughout Wisconsin. Over the past decade, BCF has generated more than $55 million to support local non-profits in the areas of health, education, recreation and basic needs. Approximately 200 non-profit organizations receive funding annually through the Foundation’s initiatives.
