In October, we announced 19 scholarships offered for 2025 Bradford seniors planning to attend a 4-year college/university or a 2-year degree program at an accredited technical school/community college.  Today, we are highlighting the addition of three new scholarships, which takes us to 22 scholarships and a total of $49,046! 

We encourage all Bradford seniors to apply for the Kenosha Bradford High School Alumni Association (KBHSAA) Scholarships.  Unless specified otherwise, applicants are to meet general eligibility requirements for the individual scholarships.  College GPA of 2.0 or greater on a 4.0 scale is required. 

Please download the KBHSAA Scholarship Application (updated 11/21/2024 to include specific instructions for downloading, saving and enabling edits to the form, so the data fields where you enter your information will work as expected), then complete and submit it, along with a copy of your ACT scores and most recent high school transcript, to Mr. Brian Schulz (Bradford Guidance Counselor, Room #246; email:  bjschulz@kusd.com), no later than Tuesday, March 25, 2025.  The application must be typed; handwritten applications will not be considered.

Those seniors selected to receive a KBHSAA Scholarship will be notified before May 9, either through Bradford High School staff or via phone call from Joyce Sorenson, Scholarships Chairperson, with a follow-up confirmation letter to include scholarship details and the criteria to be met.  Scholarship packets will be formally presented at Bradford's Senior Honors Convocation at the end of May. 

Scholarship recipients for 2025 will be invited to attend the annual DAA Banquet & Silent Auction on Saturday, June 28, as honored guests of KBHSAA, along with this year's Distinguished Alumni Award recipients. 

For all scholarships awarded, payment is made to the recipient after the 1st semester of college is completed and the specific documentation requirements (criteria and grades) are met.  All scholarships are non-renewable (i.e., a one-time award), and payment to the recipient will generally occur on or about January 1, 2026.
