The BSC Foundation provides support and recognition
to Bismarck State College through a variety of programs. Each of
these programs is made possible because of thousands of
benefactors who support the Foundation with cash contributions
and other gifts. We are pleased to be able to share their
generosity with students and the college.
Foundation Grants Program
The BSC Foundation Grant Program makes dollars available to
staff, faculty, and student organizations to fund a wide variety
of projects. Emphasis is given to innovative teaching and
creative learning projects. A wide variety of teaching and
demonstration equipment, travel for groups, campus presenters,
performing art events, guest lecturers, consulting services,
research, and other innovative projects have been supported
through the Grants Program. These grants allow the college
community to solve problems, promote worthwhile activities, and
reach for unique opportunities.
Student Recognition
Who's Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges is
a national award given to up to 12 of BSC's top students. These
students are selected by a Learning First sub-team on the basis
of academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in
extracurricular activities, and future potential. They are listed
in a national Who's Who volume and are honored with a certificate
and $75 cash award from the BSC Foundation.
Outstanding Student Awards are given to the students
selected by faculty in each of BSC's programs and departments.
These outstanding students receive a certificate and $75 cash
award from the BSC Foundation.
Phi Theta Kappa is an international two-year college
honor society. Students nominated for membership have maintained
an accumulative grade point average of 3.75 or better, and have
completed 15 semester hours in residence at BSC applicable to an
associate degree. The Phi Theta Kappan receives a paid initiation
fee for membership, a pin, and a certificate from the BSC
Foundation. They are honored at the BSC Recognition Ceremony with
a certificate from the BSC Foundation.
Employee Recognition
Years of Service To acknowledge the contributions BSC
faculty and staff make to the excellence of education, the
Foundation sponsors a recognition program for employees.
Employees are awarded pins and certificates beginning with five
years of service, and are honored with each five-year
increment.
BSC Faculty and Staff Awards for Excellence
Previously known as the Faculty and Staff Achievement Awards,
this Foundation-sponsored program has been revamped to insure
that everyone has an equal opportunity to be recognized, through
this prestigious award, for their outstanding contributions to
Bismarck State College.
To publicly recognize the Award for Excellence recipients,
they are announced at BSC's award ceremony in the spring. As
before, two faculty award recipients will each receive $1000 and
two staff award recipients will each receive $1000. Since 2001,
an adjunct faculty and a part-time staff member are also
recognized and each receives a $250 award.
Jack Fellowship
The BSC Jack Fellowship Program has been established to fund
sabbatical leaves for a Bismarck State College employee to engage
in an educational experience that ultimately benefits BSC and the
students it serves. The Fellowship is intended to partially
underwrite the salary and/or expenses of the employee during the
sabbatical. Each Fellowship will be a monetary award of up to
$25,000 to be used to enhance the recipient's professional
performance. Contact the Foundation office for more information
or eligibility requirements.
BSC Foundation Scholarships
The BSC Foundation is committed to the encouragement and
support of academic excellence. Through the support of many
generous benefactors, the BSC Foundation is able to budget more
than $185,000 in scholarship awards to over 200 students. All
scholarships are available to both incoming freshmen and
sophomores. Receiving other scholarships will not disqualify
applicants from receiving BSC Foundation Scholarships.
The BSC Foundation Scholarship Program was established for the
purpose of attracting and retaining students of outstanding
ability, regardless of gender, race, creed or national
origin.
There are many different types of scholarships available from
the BSC Foundation. Listed below are descriptions of each type of
scholarship, the number that are awarded each year and the amount
