The Berkeley Athletic Fund (BAF) has established a scholarship program to recognize and support graduating student-athletes who have demonstrated excellence, commitment, and resilience throughout their time at Berkeley High School.
Each year, BAF will award four (4) scholarships of $500+ each to graduating seniors - with one recipient from the men’s program and one from the women’s program in each category (for a total of eight awards).
Nominations must be submitted by the head coach of the student-athlete’s sport.
Each head coach may nominate one (1) student for each scholarship category, but may not nominate the same student-athlete for multiple scholarships.
If a student-athlete is nominated by more than one coach (for different sports), the selection committee will take this into account; however, no student may receive more than one scholarship.
Only graduating seniors are eligible.
