Biddle Consulting Group (BCG), one of the nation’s leading providers of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action consulting services, has created the annual BCG Impact Scholarship to be awarded each year to a graduating high school senior. This scholarship is designed to financially empower students with a history of social and/or economic justice advocacy as they embark on their journey to college, university, or trade school.

Scholarship Details:

At BCG we are committed to promoting equal opportunities and fostering inclusivity. Through this scholarship, we aim to support an individual who has demonstrated a passion for advocacy and a drive to make a positive impact on society. We believe students who have actively engaged in initiatives aimed at fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion, possess unique perspectives and invaluable contributions to make in their chosen fields. BCG will select one nominee to receive an award of $2,500 to defray education costs and allow the recipient to focus more energy and resources on their continued advocacy efforts.

Eligibility Criteria:

To be eligible, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Be a recent high school graduate (within the past year)
• Have a demonstrated history of involvement in social and/or economic justice advocacy initiatives
• Verify acceptance into college, university, or trade school program in the upcoming academic year

Applications are accepted by nominations and students may also self-nominate for the scholarship.

If student is being nominated by another party, they will need to submit a statement describing the nominee’s attributes, past advocacy initiatives, personal experience working with the student, and reasons why the individual should receive the scholarship.

If a student is self-nominating, they will need to submit an essay detailing past advocacy interests and activities, including origin of interest in cause(s), future plans and hopes for continued advocacy initiatives, and how BCG’s Impact Scholarship would enable continued advocacy.

Applying is a straightforward process. We encourage teachers, counselors, principals, coaches, employers, and volunteer associations to submit nominations, and all eligible candidates to apply for this scholarship.
