SHARE Scholarship Applications Available

The Brownsville Public Utilities Board (BPUB) is pleased to announce that it will award ten (10) scholarships, each worth $1,000, to graduating high school seniors through its Project SHARE Scholarship program.

BPUB understands the value of gaining a higher education. This is why deserving graduating high school seniors are awarded scholarships through the Project SHARE program. BPUB wants to support these members of the community as they continue their academic journey.

To qualify for the BPUB Project SHARE Scholarship, applicants must meet certain requirements. The applicant must be a graduating high school senior and live in a household with a minimum of one year of utility service with BPUB at the application deadline date. Additionally, scholarships will be granted to the top 10 qualifying students who will attend an accredited institution of higher education in the United States. All majors qualify for the BPUB Project SHARE Scholarship. For more details, please refer to the scholarship application. To read the official rules, please go to the BPUB website.

Students may apply for the scholarship online at www.brownsville-pub.com/about-us/share. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. local time on Friday, March 4, 2016. Once the scholarship recipients are selected, BPUB will send their funds directly to the applicable financial aid office for disbursement.

This scholarship has become an annual tradition for BPUB, dating back to 2005 with 95 scholarships awarded in that time. To reduce the amount of paper used by applicants and BPUB and to simplify the process for the students and judging panel, the Project SHARE Scholarship is completely online.
