Senior Student-Athlete Scholarship Awards

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 approved by the head coach of the student-athlete’s sport, but can be submitted by either the head coach or an assistant coach.

• Each team may nominate up to two (2) students for each scholarship category, but may not nominate the same student-athlete for multiple categories.

• 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.
