Brewers Community Foundation Now Accepting Scholarship Applications

MILWAUKEE – Brewers Community Foundation (BCF) today announced applications are now open for the BCF annual scholarship programs, including the Allan H. Selig Scholarship and Brewers Players/Coaches Scholarship.

“One of Brewers Community Foundation’s core tenets is to increase access to education,” said BCF Executive Director Cecelia Gore. “We take immense pride in aiding students who seek a higher education and are proud to enable the future leaders of tomorrow.”

The Allan H. Selig Scholarship Program was created in the name of former Brewers President and Commissioner Emeritus of Baseball Allan H. (Bud) Selig. Funding for the scholarships is the result of proceeds donated by Major League Baseball from the All-Star Workout Day, part of the 2002 All-Star festivities held in Milwaukee. Commissioner Selig has deep ties to Milwaukee and Wisconsin and he has also had a long-term commitment to educational excellence. Applicants must be graduating seniors from a Wisconsin High School Class of 2023 and accepted to a college or university based in the State of Wisconsin. Selected candidates will receive $2,500 renewable each year for a total of $10,000 over four years.

The Brewers Players/Coaches Scholarship Program is made possible thanks to Milwaukee Brewers players and coaches’ commitment to educational opportunities for youth. This scholarship is a one-year award that varies in amount from season to season for students who plan to attend or are currently attending a college and university in Wisconsin. Generally, scholarship awards have been between $1,000 and $2,500.

Interested students can visit brewers.com/BCF to apply.
