BDP Connecting Experience Scholarship
We have scholarships available to support you during your Connecting Experience. You may submit a BDP scholarship application along with a Connecting Experience contract. Scholarship applications are due on the Connecting Experience proposal deadline.
Typical awards range from $200-$2,500 based on a student’s individual situation. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis, and both financial need and merit will be considered, so include as much information as possible in your application.
Please note that BDP scholarships are disbursed after a Connecting Experience begins. If you receive an award, you will need to pay program, travel or other fees before you receive any funds from our office. If you are currently receiving financial aid and you are awarded a BDP scholarship, we recommend that you speak with Texas One Stop to determine whether your Connecting Experience scholarship will affect your existing aid package.
