Student Scholarship
BSSD graduates received $228,250 in scholarships for higher education in 2024! Those 116 awards, including 30 Memorial scholarships, are funded through donations to the Foundation by individuals, families, and some corporate or business donors. Sixteen scholarships are renewable for recipients, moving the total of the awards toward $240,000. Included among the renewable scholarships were seven $20,000 awards (4-year total) given to the Grow Your Own Teachers recipients.
Important Scholarship Application Update
Please do not submit scholarship applications to counselors at any of the high schools at this time.
The Blue Springs Education Foundation is implementing a new online scholarship platform called SmarterSelect. The new platform will be available beginning December 1, 2026. At that time, scholarship providers may begin submitting scholarship opportunities directly through the platform. All scholarships will be due by the last Friday in February.
Please note that paper applications will no longer be accepted.
If you have any questions, please contact your school counselor or Laura Willeke at [email protected].
Thank you for your cooperation as we transition to this new scholarship management system.
