BMBI Scholarship

BMBI Scholarship

The BMBI Scholarship fund was founded in 2018 to reward members of the BMBI family who embody our mission of Building a Better Community Through Baseball.

Successful recipients who have made significant contributions within BMBI receive financial aid for post-secondary education.

Purpose of the Scholarship

• • To be given to a member of the BMBI family who has had significant contributions within the association; and
  • To award financial aid for post-secondary education.

Funding of the Scholarship

• • BMBI will provide the financial awards from within its own operating budget and/or in partnership with community partners; and
  • The financial award – how many and what amount will be awarded, will come forward yearly as a recommendation from the scholarship committee.  A final decision will be made based on what the BMBI operating budget will allow as voted on by the executive.
