Department Award - Social Science

The Bakersfield College Foundation will make available a $500 stipend to each department to award to their selected recipient(s). If more than one student is selected for your department, the $500 stipend will be split between the two students ($250 each). A department may choose to supplement the stipend through donations or department foundation accounts if desired. A certificate to be signed by the department chair will follow after the award selection form is received from each department.

Automatic consideration based on a completed General Application does not apply to this award. Please read award details carefully.
