BChallenged
What if no one ever sat Mozart behind a piano? Imagine if Baryshnikov had pursued boxing instead of dancing.
We all have talents, and uncovering them and developing them can lead to great careers and fulfillment. BCreative helps students K-12 attend creative and arts programs or camps with scholarships that can cover up to 50% of the cost. If you can picture yourself at Interlochen or Blue Lake at this time next year, show your parents the application tonight.
Your destination doesn’t even have to be a big name camp with dorms; it can be a weekend sculpture class with clay. If you can dream it, we can help you make it a reality.
Please note: All grants and scholarships are awarded on a first come-first serve basis. We have a limited number of dollars to spend each calendar year.
